US-based insurance services firm Amynta has formed an alliance with French reinsurance major SCOR on trade credit managing general agent (MGA).

The partnership will see SCOR support the newly launched Amynta Trade Credit platform by providing a ‘responsive and focused’ approach to the trade credit insurance business in the US.

The trade credit insurance offering protects the company’s receivables from the risk of non-payment.

Amynta has appointed Harpreet Mann, who has over 15 years of experience in the insurance industry, as the president of Amynta Trade Credit.

Mann joins from QBE Insurance, where she served as head of credit and surety in North America.

Mann said: “Amynta Trade Credit is being formed to bring a singular focus in providing a strong trade credit solution with unsurpassed service to the market. We are excited to partner with SCOR to provide excellent security to meet the needs of customers.”
