Credeq launches, unlocking the credit Africa needs
This article has been supplied and will be available for a limited time only on this website.
Credeq Africa today announced its official launch as an independent Underwriting Management Agency (UMA) in the local market, marking a strategic evolution from its roots within Lombard Insurance’s Guarantee and Trade Credit division. This milestone positions the company to deliver faster, more flexible specialist guarantees and credit insurance to the construction, mining, trade, and other bespoke risk sectors.
Led by Managing Director Helgaard Müller, Credeq Africa is more than a structural shift - it is the local cornerstone of a global group of underwriting specialists operating under the Credeq brand in the UK, Europe, Australia, and beyond. Donny Gouveia, Credeq Global CEO, explains: “We are creating a business designed for today’s needs – globally connected, locally empowered, and built on deep expertise and agility.”
According to Müller, the move to an independent UMA allows the company to do more than streamline operations, it unlocks credit innovation. “This structure gives us the freedom to develop new products for a rapidly changing economy - from mining prepayment guarantees to complex cross-border logistics solutions. We are able to act faster, collaborate better, and tailor more precisely to the risks our clients are facing.”
