A Deeper Look at the Business Challenges We Addressed​

These key pain points were gathered directly from professionals and companies operating with and in the Credit and Political Risk (Re)Insurance market. Challenges such as limited oversight, hindered transparency, reduced efficiency, and compromised decision-making were at the forefront. The Zenik solution was purpose-built to address these issues head-on.​

Adapting to Basel III and Ensuring Credit Insurance Relevance

With Basel III introducing stricter capital adequacy requirements, the credit insurance market faces growing scrutiny over reserving practices and the limitations of existing systems. Without clarity and modernization, the market risks diminishing relevance and competitiveness.

Stricter Capital Requirements

Basel III raises the bar for capital adequacy, challenging the use of credit insurance as a reliable Credit Risk Mitigation (CRM) tool without robust reserving practices and transparency.

Demand for Transparency

Regulators are demanding more accurate reserving, better oversight, and robust data. However, outdated systems and fragmented workflows hinder the industry’s ability to meet these expectations effectively.

Risk of Declining Relevance​

Without innovation and modernized risk management, credit insurance risks losing its role as a tool for reducing Risk-Weighted Assets (RWA). The market lacks the tools and data to challenge regulators’ assumptions about the robustness of the (re)insurance credit market, leaving it exposed to vulnerabilities during economic downturns or crises.

No Real Time Exposure Management

Risk profiles in Credit and Asset Finance risk insurance change frequently. Without real-time updates, insurers are facing many issues, such as:​

Struggle to set accurate capital reserves

Insurers lack timely insights, leading to over- or under-reserving and inefficient capital allocation.

Issues maintaining regulatory compliance

Delayed updates can result in non-compliance, penalties, or insufficient reserves to meet regulatory requirements.

Cannot inform reinsurers effectively

Without real-time data, reinsurers receive outdated information, weakening trust and reducing available capacity.

Struggle to manage portfolios efficiently

Inefficient portfolio oversight increases operational costs and heightens the risk of unmanaged accumulations, jeopardizing stability.

Untimely Reporting and Limited Compliance and Operational Oversight

The growing demands for regulatory compliance and operational transparency pose significant challenges for (re)insurers in the form of:

Issues Meeting Increased Regulatory Demand

Struggling to meet heightened requirements for oversight and transparency across operations.

Creating Complex Reporting Requirements

Navigating the growing complexity of reporting obligations for reinsurers, investors, and stakeholders.​

Challenges in Auditing and Tracking

Difficulty in implementing robust compliance measures, tracking processes, and establishing effective operational procedures.

Perceived Lack of Trust from Regulators

Scrutinizing credit insurance as a risk mitigation tool, citing concerns over insurers’ capital reserving practices, ability to manage risk.​​

Lack of Systems Modernization for Scalability and Future-Readiness

The absence of modernized systems is limiting scalability and future preparedness for businesses, leading to several critical challenges:

Legacy systems and outdated data capture methods hinder scalability and prevent the adoption of future technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Companies attempting to build their own solutions face significant challenges, as these projects are often expensive, time-consuming, and prone to failure.

Standalone portals developed by companies often lack interoperability, creating inefficiencies and leading to fragmented, siloed data for clients and the broader market.

No one source of truth

Most companies rely on multiple systems to manage critical information, including:

Premium and Claims Management

Exposure Tracking

Partner Management

Limit Management

User access & Authority controls

Currency Exchange Rates

Costing Engines

Workflow Management

Administrative Systems

Accounting Systems

Third-party Data Integrations

Document Storage

Finance and Treasury Systems
