Export Finance

We can offer you comprehensive know-how and long-term experience in export finance. You will find that our financing solutions are as individualised as your exports are made to your clients specifications.

Benefit from our wealth of know-how when it comes to:

• Buyer's credits
• Structured finance
• Investment finance

Buyer's credits

Using the insurance cover provided by international export credit agencies (ECAs), we can arrange medium to long-term financings for foreign banks and companies. The credit will be paid out to you, the exporter, on a pro rata basis in line with the progress made in terms of delivery or services. As a long-standing syndicate bank of AKA Ausfuhrkreditgesellschaft mbH ('AKA'), we can also provide ECA-covered buyer's credits in cooperation with AKA based on the latter's Basic and General Loan Facility Agreements.

In individual cases, we can also provide financing for advance payments or local costs.

As regards projects involving suppliers from different countries, we arrange multisource financings with cover from the ECAs of the countries in question.

Structured finance

We structure financing solutions, for example, on the basis of counter-trades and provide you with the liquidity you require. Unlike classic buyer's credits, which are collateralised by bank or government guarantees, structured finance facilities are secured by the export revenues from goods that can be traded on the global commodities markets (such as oil, gas, coal, ore, steel or agricultural products). The credit agreement with the foreign buyer should only be concluded if long-term purchase agreements have already been entered into.

The credit terms depend on the complexity of the projects and can amount to five years and more.

Investment finance

In an investment finance facility, we grant loans directly to the company located abroad to finance your planned investments in fixed and current assets. We can also refinance your equity capital or your shareholder loans.

For both of these financing solutions, investment guarantees issued by the German government cover 95% of the political risk. Investment financing solutions can also be combined with programmes offered by the German government and the federal states to promote foreign investments. Benefit from our know-how.
