Are You Taking Advantage of all WMIA Member Benefits?

All members are entitled to the products and services offered by the National Association of Wholesale-Distributors (NAW) by virtue of WMIA's membership in NAW.

NAW also promotes the merchant wholesaler-distributor as the most efficient channel of distribution.

NAW/Euler Hermes ACI Credit Insurance Program
As a member of the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors (NAW), WMIA members have access to a special credit risk management program that is offered through NAW’s exclusive partnership with Euler Hermes ACI (EH ACI).

EH ACI is North America’s oldest and largest provider of credit insurance, which protects a company from slow- or non-payment by their customers. In today’s economy -- where corporate bankruptcies are far too common -- credit insurance is a smart investment. In fact, since NAW and EH ACI joined forces in 2003, EH ACI has handled over $100 million in claims for its wholesaler-distributor clients alone.

With credit insurance from EH ACI, members can:

  • Avoid catastrophic bad-debt losses

  • Safely expand sales to new and existing clients

  • Enter new markets with confidence

  • Secure better borrowing terms with lenders

  • Reduce bad-debt reserves

  • More confidently achieve financial objectives
