The International Credit Insurance and Surety Association (ICISA) is an international trade association for companies that provide private trade credit insurance, reinsurance and surety bonds. Its secretariat, based in Amsterdam, publishes reports and organizes events that provide information and analysis about the state of the credit insurance industry and its role in the global economy.

History

Eight companies founded the International Credit Insurance Association (ICIA) in 1928, as a result of the first international conference on trade and credit insurance, held in London in 1926.^[1]^[2] Five of the founding members (Cobac of Belgium, Hermes of Germany, SFAC of France, SIAC of Italy and Trade Indemnity of the United Kingdom) were all eventually absorbed into Allianz Trade. The other three founding members are Crédito y Caución [es] from Spain; Eidgenössische (now Winterthur) from Switzerland and Nederlandsche Credietverzekering Maatschappij (NCM, now Atradius) from the Netherlands.

The ICISA membership increased steadily and in the 1950s, the association opened to companies providing surety bonds.^[3] In 2000, the Association accepts companies providing reinsurance.^[4]

Organization

The ICISA Secretariat is headquartered in Amsterdam. The association acts as a platform for exchange among members, promotes collaboration between insurance companies and external stakeholders from finance industry, such as regulators and policy makers, banks, academia and other related associations. ICISA is member of the Digital Standards Initiative led by the International Chamber of Commerce and the Expert Group on Enhanced Coordination of External Financial Tools of the European Commission.^[5]^[6]

Publications

The ICISA secretariat publishes books and reports that provide statistics and analysis of the credit insurance industry and its role in the global economy.^[7]^[8] For some publications, ICISA collaborates with the Berne Union, a sister organization for Export Credit Agencies.^[9]^[10]
