Atradius og UBF i Brasilien underskriver samarbejdsaftale

København 28. februar 2007.

Atradius and UBF co-operate to offer Domestic credit insurance in Brazil

Atradius concluded a Co-operation Agreement in Brazil with UBF Garantias & Seguros S.A. (UBF) in September 2006. However, clearance of certain regulatory steps were still required before Domestic credit insurance policies could be issued. The Supervisory authority of Brazil (Susep) needed to approve our product and the public reinsurance authority (IRB) needed to issue a reinsurance license. In February these final steps were cleared and Atradius is now able to offer Domestic credit insurance cover to customers in Brazil , via UBF. UBF is the second largest Bond Insurer in Brazil , specialising in surety bonds and guarantees. Swiss Re is a main shareholder of UBF with a shareholding of 45%.

Atradius provides technical support and knowhow to UBF through its local service company Atradius Serviços para Seguros de Crédito Ltda. The Atradius office will be led by Benedikt Minzl who has more than 11 years experience with Atradius.
