The Berne Union is the premier international organisation for
insurers of exports and foreign investments. It is made up
of both public and private members, and today practically all
major insurers around the world are members.
In total, the Berne Union has more than 50 member
organisations in more than 40 countries or locations around
the world. In addition, the Prague Club has around 25 member
organizations in Europe, Asia and Africa.
Being a member of the Berne Union means inclusion in the
leading forum for exchanges of information, experience and
expertise with industry colleagues worldwide.
The Berne Union also sets standards for sound principles in
export credit and investment insurance.
The British Exporters Association brings together UK capital
goods manufacturers, trade fi nance banks, international
traders and their credit insurance, legal and other associates.
We take a particular interest in export credit insurance and
represent our members’ concerns to the private credit
insurers (who are members of BExA) and to the British
Government’s Department of Trade & Industry, Export Credits
Guarantee Department, Foreign & Commonwealth Offi ce,
HM Treasury and other relevant departments. In addition,
the association publishes a series of practical, authoritative,
guides for exporters. Those published to date cover letters
of credit, on-demand contract bonds and retention of title.
BExA also provides an important information dissemination
service through a periodic newsletter and focussed email
circulars. The association’s Spring Reception and Annual
Lunch are amongst the leading networking events in the
British exporters’ diary

The International Credit Insurance & Surety Association
(ICISA) brings together companies that write credit
insurance and/or surety. ICISA was founded in 1928 as
the fi rst credit insurance association and its members
now account for 95% of global credit insurance business.
Surety companies have been joining since the 1950s
allowing the association to grow into the leading
international organisation in the fi eld of trade credit and
surety bond insurance. ICISA members form a central
role in facilitating trade, by insuring trade credit risks
resulting from local sales as well as from exports, or by
providing security for the performance of a contract. In
2005 ICISA members insured over 1.5 trillion USD worth
of trade. The Association has members located on all fi ve
continents insuring risks in practically every country in
the world.
ICISA promotes sustained technical excellence,
industry innovation and product integrity, as well as
solving business problems generated by legislation. It
represents the interest of its members by facilitating
an open exchange of information, in conjunction with
representing the industry on an international level. ICISA
advises international and multinational authorities on
vital issues related to the credit insurance and surety
bond industry.
