ICBA Australia and New Zealand's new email communication to clients, the NCI Minute, was launched 28 November, 2009. The e-newsletter is designed to give ICBA Australia and New Zealand's clients a monthly "Minute" of information on issues of interest to the trade credit insurance industry. Upcoming topics will include credit risk management, debt collection and changes in credit laws and regulations among others. Each monthly "Minute" will also introduce a "compliance tip" relating to clients' credit insurance policies. The e-news will go out to over 8,000 client contacts. Also in-the-works at ICBA Australia and New Zealand is a more detailed, two-page quarterly newsletter to be mailed to clients, business partners and potential customers.

In the inaugural e-news, Kirk Cheesman, Managing Director of ICBA Australia and New Zealand, describes the success of the most recent ICBA International Conference hosted by his company in Sydney, Australia. Cheesman stresses that the International Credit Brokers Alliance (ICBA) is a "valuable global resource and network for our clients." ICBA members travelled from Asia, Africa, North America and Europe to listen to insurers and discuss current and future credit insurance strategies and best practices.
