👋 About Us

Bondaval is building the decision layer for B2B financial risk, and we intend to shape how the next generation of it is managed.
Every company that sells on credit is taking risk on whether it will get paid. We help them manage that risk with confidence. Our platform combines proprietary technology, specialist underwriting and rated insurance capacity, so businesses can price, monitor and protect their credit, counterparty and payment risk in one place. Trade credit insurance and non-payment guarantees all run on it.

  • Named as the #1 fastest-growing insurtech and #19 fastest-growing startup in the Sifted 100 for UK & Ireland
