FINANCIAL STRENGTH
Rated AA-by Fitch and A2 by Moody's with a stable outlook in both cases, Coface has the financial strength necessary to carry out its activity as an insurer. These positive assessments by the two ratings agencies are based on three key drivers: Coface’s strong competitive position in the global credit insurance market; a robust Group solvency and proactive management of Coface’s risks (founded on efficient procedures and tools). Listed on the Euronext Market in 2014, Natixis (bank financing, management and services arm of BPCE, the second French banking group) is a majority shareholder. 

A Powerful International Network

Coface is present directly or via strategic partnerships in 100 countries, with the ability to provide cover for its clients in approximately 200 countries. Coface relies on its own international network and also on the "Coface partner" network.
