BALTIMORE, June 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Euler Hermes, the world's leading trade credit insurer, today announced an innovative partnership with fintech credit risk analysis company, CRiskCo. With a focus on revolutionizing factoring, trade and supply chain finance, CRiskCo uses state-of-the art artificial intelligence (AI) credit analysis and fraud detection processes.
Christophe Spoerry, Euler Hermes Digital Agency (EHDA) co-founder, said, " EHDA and CRiskCo are working together to evolve trade credit insurance and risk management, particularly at the transaction and single invoice cover levels. This has the potential to offer small-medium enterprises (SMEs) significantly more protection when doing business, by providing innovative, simple and affordable customer analyses."
EHDA recently launched its first breakthrough product – Single Invoice Cover - which protects companies from non-payment by business customers. Cover is provided transaction by transaction while optimizing end-to-end supply chains and extending optimal credit terms to buyers. Based on a proprietary application program interface (API), it creates a seamless process for businesses, while facilitating a comprehensive and granular management of credit exposure.
CRiskCo uses its strength in harvesting and analyzing data to develop smart algorithms that can evolve the underwriting capabilities within the Single Invoice Cover product. Based on invoice-level data, CRiskCo reviews accounting data and applies prediction analytics and machine learning algorithms to provide businesses a credit score that assesses the probability of business success or default. The company helps vendors and financial institutions reduce underwriting time and costs using big data processing and cloud infrastructures. It monitors abnormal behavior of clients and clients' debtors to predict fraud, and alert partners to limit their exposure.
