Finaccord’s series comprising an overview report titled Creditor Insurance in Europe plus 20
country-specific reports offers updated and detailed insights into the market for creditor insurance,
sometimes also referred to as payment protection insurance or loan-related insurance, in 20
countries. Creditor insurance in Europe was worth around EUR 40 billion in gross written premiums
in 2013, including coverage for life and permanent disability as well as the temporary disability and
unemployment elements. However, the progress of individual creditor insurance markets has been
variable in recent years with steady growth in some territories offset by declines of varying degrees
of magnitude in others, sometimes as a result of regulatory intervention.
Drawing on the results of a survey of around 1,250 lending institutions in 20 countries, the series
analyses the provision of creditor insurance by lending institutions, variances in provision by
underlying lending product, operating models for provision of creditor insurance, weighted provider
share of partnerships and the potential for selling creditor cover through distribution channels other
than the lending institutions themselves. The PartnerBASE™ datasets that accompany the reports
detail each of approximately 1,600 creditor insurance distribution deals traced by Finaccord.
Together, the reports, PartnerBASE™ datasets and market data files will provide you with the
definitive guide to current and future opportunities in creditor insurance in Europe.
