Dubai International Financial Centre announced that Atradius, a global trade credit insurance and risk management firm, has established operations in DIFC as part of its Middle East growth strategy. The move is positioned to expand Atradius’ ability to deliver insurance management services and support its insurance partners across the Middle East and North Africa. Atradius will operate within the regulatory framework of the Dubai Financial Services Authority and, through local partners, offer trade credit solutions aimed at helping businesses manage payment risk and trade in complex global markets. Atradius highlighted its long-standing regional model, including collaboration since 1999 with partners such as Orient Insurance in the UAE and Tawuniya in Saudi Arabia, with an Atradius company acting as reinsurer and supporting account management, claims handling and debt collection through Atradius Collections companies. Atradius and its partners plan to continue offering credit insurance and debt collection solutions across the MENA region from the DIFC hub.
