About us

SERV Swiss Export Risk Insurance covers the political and economic risks when exporting goods and services. The insurance and guarantees of SERV provide protection against non-payment, facilitate the financing of exports, and help companies to maintain their liquidity.

The conclusion of SERV insurance is not conditional upon a particular minimum order volume or company size. However, the applicant must be based in Switzerland, and the export transaction must contain a certain proportion of Swiss added value.

As a public-law institution of the Swiss Confederation, SERV offers its services in addition to those of private credit insurers. As most industrial nations offer their export businesses similar state support, SERV guarantees the competitiveness of Swiss exporters, thereby contributing to the preservation and creation of jobs in Switzerland.
