If you want to have a higher level of DIAMOND Payment Protection you can have the 50.000 $ annual cover for an additional annual fee of 750 $ (this applies only when you have the basic Payment protection already, being a paid AGLN member of 1250 $ annual fee.)
In case of non-payment by another member, the procedure is as follows to reach the best collection scenario:
After 90 days non-payment and various reminders, you must notify the AGLN staff for proceedings of collection through Euler and Hermes or FDRS.
You also have to blacklist and start proceedings with FDRS.
If you do have active payment protection, as a bonus, AGLN will cover the initial fees of USD 125 for the collection service of Euler and Hermes. This is a special offer to all of our members with Payment Protection as a way of helping out and showing our appreciation.
Payment Protection has become an industry standard and a network not offering financial protection is not a serious network. We are confident in our members and their financial stability and good character.
Payment Protection is a tailor-made insurance cover in case of insolvency or bankruptcy of one of its members. This can be over several cases and/or with/to several members.
A simple payment dispute or lack of response is here not covered, but AGLN Team will always assist and mediate in these cases and we have managed to solve all cases in our many years of existence.
(In some cases AGLN Payment Protection decides to compensate for non-payment cases which are not part of insolvency or bankruptcy of one of its members)
Credit insurance is another way of covering issues with your customers with the biggest turnover. This insurance also covers cases of non-payment without liquidation or bankruptcy. It covers simple issues of non-payment (we are currently working on a few credit insurance offers to bring to the network)
