How SERV can help Swiss exporters with liquidity bottlenecks

SERV helps you to:

  • Ensure that you get paid for your export by insuring the political or del credere risk
  • Offer foreign customers attractive terms and conditions of payment
  • Find suitable foreign banks for your business

If a Swiss company exports or renders a service for a foreign buyer, the risk that it will not be paid for its services can increase. SERV provides exporters with the security they need to accept potentially risky export orders by insuring incoming payments against political risks and the buyer’s insolvency or unwillingness to pay. SERV also helps exporters to maintain their liquidity and improves their access to financing.
