25

~$1B

500

active buyers in our largest customer environment

30

Why now

Exposure grew. Premium did not.

ICISA members reported approximately $3.5 trillion in exposure in 2024, up 7.5%, while premium fell 0.6%.
work-sits-in-buyers

The work sits in buyers, not in policies

One customer manages 500k buyers and 650k credit limits behind just 3,000 insureds. Policy counts hide the real operating load.
hardest-decisions-slowest

The hardest decisions are the slowest

Automation falls as exposure rises. The decisions requiring the most judgement also take the longest to resolve.
cover-extended-further

Exposure keeps moving after cover is granted

Buyer health, payment experience and portfolio concentrations change throughout the policy term. The limit decision is only the beginning.

BUILD, ADAPT OR BUY

The useful question is what you are asked to configure

Every platform in this market is configurable. They differ in how much of credit insurance you have to define before you can configure anything that reflects how you compete.
BUILD IN-HOUSE
P&C PLATFORM
TINUBU TRADE CREDIT
What you configure first
BUILD IN-HOUSE Everything, starting with the credit domain itself: how limits work, how buyer groups aggregate, what happens when a limit is withdrawn mid-term, how premium follows declared turnover.
P&C PLATFORM The credit domain has to be constructed on a general core before appetite can be configured. Much of the implementation time and risk sits in that work.
TINUBU TRADE CREDIT Appetite, authority, scoring, automation thresholds, products, workflows, pricing and distribution. The credit foundation is already in the platform.
Time to value
BUILD IN-HOUSE Longest path, and the design is yours from the start. Reasonable where the operating model itself is the differentiator.
P&C PLATFORM Faster than building. Credit-specific mechanics are often handled with workarounds around a P&C-shaped core.
TINUBU TRADE CREDIT Five launches documented in under nine months, one of them under six.
Credit depth
BUILD IN-HOUSE Exactly what you design, and yours to maintain as the line evolves.
P&C PLATFORM Turnover declarations and buyer-group aggregation are specific to this line and generally not provided by general policy administration systems.
TINUBU TRADE CREDIT Buyers, limits, buyer groups, aggregation, declarations, claims and recoveries are part of the underlying model.
Risk expertise
BUILD IN-HOUSE Your own analysts and data relationships, recruited and retained by you.
P&C PLATFORM Software, without an in-house credit underwriting function behind it.
TINUBU TRADE CREDIT A platform with 15 credit analysts, a proprietary scoring model and 160+ countries of coverage available alongside it.
