XL-Policy
Excess of Loss Policy – XL Policy
Excess of Loss insurance is an innovative default risk protection that does not interfere with the insured’s credit management. The insured continues to assume the risk of sustainable, structural defaults but cedes unforeseeable and exceptional risks that threaten its financial security and continuity.
The advantage for the policyholder of this modern risk protection based on the principles of reinsurance, which was previously only available to insurers, is that the insured does not have a credit limit set by the insurer and does not have to accept any interference in his customer relationships when collecting receivables. Thus, he can react to rapidly changing circumstances with regard to the risk.
