The Berne Union is the premier international organisation for

insurers of exports and foreign investments. It is made up

of both public and private members, and today practically all

major insurers around the world are members.

In total, the Berne Union has more than 50 member

organisations in more than 40 countries or locations around

the world. In addition, the Prague Club has around 25 member

organizations in Europe, Asia and Africa.

Being a member of the Berne Union means inclusion in the

leading forum for exchanges of information, experience and

expertise with industry colleagues worldwide.

The Berne Union also sets standards for sound principles in

export credit and investment insurance.

The British Exporters Association brings together UK capital

goods manufacturers, trade fi nance banks, international

traders and their credit insurance, legal and other associates.

We take a particular interest in export credit insurance and

represent our members’ concerns to the private credit

insurers (who are members of BExA) and to the British

Government’s Department of Trade & Industry, Export Credits

Guarantee Department, Foreign & Commonwealth Offi ce,

HM Treasury and other relevant departments. In addition,

the association publishes a series of practical, authoritative,

guides for exporters. Those published to date cover letters

of credit, on-demand contract bonds and retention of title.

BExA also provides an important information dissemination

service through a periodic newsletter and focussed email

circulars. The association’s Spring Reception and Annual

Lunch are amongst the leading networking events in the

British exporters’ diary
