Practicalities

There are many different documents available for your application. You can find links to the application forms and general terms and conditions below. But we also provide a brief explanation of how it works to submit an application.

Make your request in a few steps

Step 1

Complete the application form on the Atradius DSB website. You can make one application per transaction. After receiving your application and all required information, it takes an average of 8 weeks before you receive the promise of cover.

Step 2

The promise of cover received indicates the conditions under which we insure your risks. Knowing that the payment risk of the future transaction is covered, you can negotiate with your client with peace of mind.

Step 3

Once the contract takes effect and you have received the down payment, we will convert the promise of cover into a policy and charge the premium. The promise of cover does not cost anything and is valid for six months.

Step 4

Once the contract with your buyer is in effect, you take out the policy. If there are discrepancies between export contract and promise of cover, report them to Atradius DSB. Atradius DSB processes these and issues the policy.

Promise of cover expired?

If your promise of cover has expired, it may be renewed for another six-months. Should the contract not yet have taken effect, we will need new annual figures for review before we can extend. We will charge you a maximum of EUR 500 for this extension.

Note!

It is important that you assume the worst case scenario when submitting your application. It is more difficult to include a much higher risk in your cover when converting from commitment to policy, than we originally assessed, than vice versa. Of course, minor deviations can always be included.
