The story

Credendo is one of the oldest credit insurance companies. In 1921 the Belgian Ministry of Economic Affairs set up a Delcredere Committee to promote Belgian exports. In 1935 the committee is separated from the Ministry and becomes the Belgian Export Credit Agency ‘Office National du Ducroire | Nationale Delcrederedienst’ (ONDD). In 1939 a complete reorganisation takes place: the agency is transformed into an autonomous public financial body with a state guarantee. Up till now, export credit agency services remain the group's core activity.
