Export Finance

As a company active in export and import, you are confronted with a wide variety of financing requirements and risks. In addition, tenders or foreign business partners are increasingly demanding unfavorable payment terms or that you as an exporter have to be involved in the structuring of a financing solution. We develop individual financing solutions and procure financing for export transactions with medium to long-term financing periods – especially for complex transactions in challenging markets. We work closely with state export credit insurers (ECAs) such as the Swiss Export Risk Insurance SERV as well as with well-known providers in the private insurance market, which enable export financing with favorable terms.
