TEPFIN Overview

TEPFIN (Trade, Export, and Project Finance INsurance) is a web-based system for quoting political risks and credit insurance.

TEPFIN (www.tepfin.com) went live in May 2004 with USD18bn of notional capacity on 620 obligors (and is changing all the time). It has the following advantages:

• Connects clients and underwriters in an electronic platform that provides instant on-line quotes and a real-time view of available capacity
• Allows clients and underwriters to reserve and accept capacity on-line
• Gives clients access to live capacity and rates from 20 of the leading political risk and credit underwriters
• Efficiently focuses the traditional approach and the ability to automatically identify interested underwriters in seconds rather than hours or days
• Connects you directly to the underwriters you select. Nothing is hidden and no short-cuts are taken. The full depth of market information is shown on all quotes
• Free to both clients and underwriters
