ECA EXPERTISE
Mitigate risk.
Enable financing.
Political and commercial risks can make long-term financing difficult. Suitable ECA cover can mitigate those risks and make a buyer credit possible.
Turn risk cover into a financing solution.
We assess how the cover conditions, export contract and loan fit together. For exporters, this means understanding the conditions for disbursement. For buyers, it means a viable financing structure and an agreed repayment schedule.
Assess eligibility early
We consider export origin, the goods or services, destination and buyer. This gives you a more concrete basis for discussing financing during contract negotiations.
Translate cover conditions into payment terms
We consider cover requirements when structuring the down payment, loan term and disbursement. Exporters and buyers can identify the conditions that need to be reflected in their contracts.
Clarify evidence before delivery
We align the documentation with the loan and cover requirements. Delivery evidence and other disbursement conditions can then be planned as part of contract execution.

Each transaction is assessed individually. ECA cover does not replace credit assessment and does not remove all transaction risks.
