From Local Leaders to a Global Force: Introducing Credeq

Credeq officially launches today as a global underwriting agency specialising in credit insurance. Focused, independent, and built for scale, Credeq brings together expert teams from Australia, Europe, the UK, and South Africa—unifying decades of market insight under one brand.

The launch includes the transition of AssetInsure’s Commercial Guarantee division—including its market-leading fuel and commercial lease bond products—into Credeq. In Australia, Credeq will operate as an independent MGA (Managing General Agent) and strategic partner to AssetInsure.

 “Credeq lets us stay sharp and responsive while expanding our reach,” said Thane Duffin, Director of Credeq Australia. “Clients get global firepower with local focus—minus the red tape.”

 Credeq offers certainty in uncertain markets—combining data-driven underwriting, deep credit risk expertise, and regional agility.

One purpose. Global reach. Built for what’s next.

Why the Change?

Credeq brings together specialist credit insurance capabilities under one global identity—designed for greater scale, deeper expertise, and faster innovation.

Our story began in 1990 with Lombard, a South African specialist in surety bonds. Over the past few decades, they created a number of strategic alliances and acquisitions with credit experts around the world, including AssetInsure. Today, they all come together—with the launch of Credeq.

“We’ve gone from an alliance to a unified brand—giving us access to the best tools, markets, and capacity worldwide,” said Donny Gouveia, Credeq Global CEO.

“This is a business built for now: globally connected, locally empowered, and led by experience.”

Continuity, Without Compromise

In Australia, Credeq Australia Pty Ltd will now act as the appointed underwriting agent for fuel and lease bonds. But for clients, the experience stays the same:

• Same trusted team.
• Same issuing insurer: HDI Global Specialty SE (S&P AA-).
• Same responsive, regionally focused service.

Now backed by a stronger global network.
