Main characteristics
- An abstract 100% guarantee is issued in favour of the refinancing investor.
- The Export Funding Guarantee is aimed at banks involved in international transactions willing to reduce funding costs in their export credit agreements.
- Credendo – Export Credit Agency’s high credit rating helps banks to reduce refinancing risks.
A bank that finances the export of capital goods needs funding either through own resources or through external funding.
The Export Funding Guarantee facilitates the external refinancing of export financing and enhances refinancing at competitive terms.
The guarantee is directly issued to the refinancing institution and fully covers the risk of non-payment of the refinancing loan.
The guaranteed contract is the refinancing agreement concluded between the lending bank and the refinancing institution, for which non-reimbursement is covered.
