Funding and protecting your exports
Export finance and export insurance are critical to most global business transactions. Export finance offers a way for businesses to release working capital from overseas transactions that might otherwise remain tied up in invoices for long periods of time. Export credit insurance (ECI) protects an exporter against the risk of non-payment by a foreign buyer. This significantly reduces the payment risks associated with doing international business by giving exporters conditional assurance that payment will be made if the foreign buyer defaults.
