Insight into a company's capacity to honor its financial commitments

How Much Credit Should You Extend?

 

Our @rating Credit Opinions can help you avoid the stress of making credit decisions. Coface created the @rating suite of products as an online method for easily and reliably indicating company creditworthiness. Opinions are based on Coface’s expertise in underwriting commercial risk, leveraging our database of over 50 million companies, a wealth of country-specific intelligence and our 65+ years of experience.

 

With @rating, we put our money where our mouth is. Coface uses the @rating methodology to indicate credit limits on some insurance policies. In North America, @rating is also available as a credit assessment tool, meaning that you can tap in to our underwriting talent even if you are not a policyholder. @rating Credit Opinions can also be monitored, so that you receive an alert when a customer’s situation changes. 

 

Available by subscription, @rating is underpinned by our global network of resources. Coface subsidiaries and partners contribute local knowledge to a shared credit risk management database. As a result, @rating is built on common standards, allowing our clients to easily assess their customers or suppliers, regardless of location.
