Trade credit insurance is evolving—and fast. As global trade becomes more dynamic, the ability to accurately assess and manage risk is more critical than ever. At Etihad Credit Insurance (ECI), we're embracing technology to transform the way risk is evaluated and underwritten, helping UAE businesses trade smarter, faster, and more securely.

The Role of Technology in Risk Assessment

Traditional risk assessment models relied heavily on historical data and manual processes. Today, AI, machine learning, and real-time data analytics are reshaping the landscape—offering deeper insights and faster decision-making.

ECI is leading this shift by:

• Leveraging AI to assess buyer risk across multiple markets using both structured and unstructured data.
• Utilizing real-time analytics to detect trends and forecast potential payment defaults before they occur.
• Improving underwriting precision through intelligent models backed by data on over 400 million buyers worldwide.

Why It Matters for UAE Exporters

For businesses trading internationally, knowing who you're dealing with is essential. With ECI’s technology-driven approach:

• Risk assessments are faster and more precise, supporting timely decision-making.
• Customised credit insurance solutions are developed based on real-time market and buyer data.
• Exporters can expand with more confidence, backed by data, not guesswork.

What’s Next for the Industry

As digital transformation continues, trade credit insurers are expected to:

• Integrate blockchain for transparency in trade documentation.
• Continue investing in predictive analytics and automation.

At ECI, we're committed to staying ahead—investing in the tools and technology that help UAE businesses grow securely and sustainably.
