What is credit insurance?
The so-called credit insurance is actually a form of guarantee, which means that the insurer guarantees the loan contract between banks or other financial institutions and enterprises to ensure the credit risk of borrowers and the safety of lenders' funds. Credit insurance can be divided into commercial credit insurance (loan credit insurance, credit insurance, prepaid credit insurance), bank credit insurance and national credit insurance.

In loan credit insurance, the creditor is the insured, and the lender becomes the insured as soon as the policy is issued. When the insured enterprise fails to repay the loan in the loan contract according to the contract, the creditor may obtain compensation from the insurer or insurance company. After receiving compensation from the insurer, the lender must transfer the creditor's rights to the insurance company or insurer, who will ask the borrower for a loan.

2. Relieved the contradiction between strict bank policies and increasing investment in small and micro enterprises: as a lender of credit funds, banks need to bear the risk of not being able to recover loans on the agreed date, and often require loan enterprises to provide collateral or guarantee.
