Overview

Founded in 2022, Cartan Trade operates as a managing general agent (MGA) that distributes trade credit insurance to corporates and financial institutions, leveraging underwriting capacity from re/insurer Scor. Its digital platform allows clients to obtain and manage trade credit cover, and the firm is currently active across Benelux, France, southern Europe and the Nordics. Cartan reports a portfolio of 400 active policies representing €12 billion in committed cover and forecasts a 30 % increase in premiums to €40 million by the end of 2025.

Recent ownership changes see Scor holding 48 % of the company, Intact Corporation Financière holding 44 %, and Bpifrance retaining 8 %. The fresh capital will be used to accelerate Cartan’s technological development and international expansion plans.
