Our backstory

Every risk matters.

So you want the security of big. But today, big brings a lot of baggage.

That’s why we wanted to do it differently.

Big that takes the time to truly understand you and your world. Big reach and capacity without all the bureaucracy. A big partner who’s nimble, hungry, and makes things happen.

Credeq is credit without compromise. So that no matter how complex the deal, you have confidence in a solution. And in this game, that’s big.

Backed by a strong history

Credeq is built on 35+ years of credit insurance experience. From day one, it’s been about finding better ways to understand, support and grow businesses.

As the insurance world keeps shifting, and customer needs keep evolving, so do we. But what will never change is staying close to our clients, growing through real relationships, and keeping things simple—because clarity, trust, and genuine partnership matter more than ever.

Credeq brings together global capacity and decades of local know-how. We’re still closely partnered with Lombard, Assetinsure and Nordic Guarantee, but now we’re showing up across markets with one voice, securing more possibilities.
