Cover ratings

On cover
NZEC is open for cover across the range of private and public buyers, subject to NZEC’s standard underwriting criteria for each transaction.
Limited cover
NZEC is open for cover although this may be for a limited profile of buyers and/or only for transactions with shorter credit terms. NZEC may apply more stringent underwriting criteria and conditions of support. For example, any NZEC approval may require a higher level of risk sharing from the Insured and/or an extended claims waiting period.
Off cover
With limited exceptions, we are off cover on all buyers in these countries.
