GSLA Special Risk Management Solution (SRMS)
GSLA offers a payment protection program for its members for their financial dealings amongst the members and also offers a payment protection programme as a value added pay-in-service in association with our insurance provider and the please find the details are as follows:

The insured is covered for the risk of any non-payment of legally substantiated and insured claims occurring by reason of:
  • A customer’s inability to pay in consequence of this financial collapse
  • Protracted default of a customer who has not paid the entire outstanding amount within the maximum payment period, insofar as this protracted default is not due to a disputed claim.
FYI, the maximum payment period here refers to a term of payment of up to 90 days from the date of invoice for the deliveries and performances which is allowed. The maximum compensation sum within one insurance year amounts to 30 times the actual paid premium of this same insurance year. Hence, this means that the maximum compensation paid in case of a bad-debt loss is 90% of the loss for those customers for whom the insurance company has fixed an individual credit limit.

The insured needs to provide us a list of their insurable customers (including their credit terms and annual turnovers) for approval which will be subject to a financial status check by the insurer prior to confirmation of insurance cover. There is a fee charged for each financial status check. Only then will the insurer be able to determine the credit limit for each of these insurable customers.

The premium is calculated according to the individual risks / annual turnover of the insured company.
