The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) is the official export credit agency of the United States. Ex-Im Bank's mission is to assist in financing the export of U.S. goods and services to international markets.
Ex-Im Bank enables U.S. companies — large and small — to turn export opportunities into real sales that help to maintain and create U.S. jobs and contribute to a stronger national economy.
Ex-Im Bank does not compete with private sector lenders but provides export financing products that fill gaps in trade financing. We assume credit and country risks that the private sector is unable or unwilling to accept. We also help to level the playing field for U.S. exporters by matching the financing that other governments provide to their exporters.
Ex-Im Bank provides working capital guarantees (pre-export financing); export credit insurance; and loan guarantees and direct loans (buyer financing). No transaction is too large or too small. On average, 85% of our transactions directly benefit U.S. small businesses.
With more than 77 years of experience, Ex-Im Bank has supported more than $456 billion of U.S. exports, primarily to developing markets worldwide.
"The Ex-Im Bank collaboration has become a main component of our international expansion. We can now concentrate on increasing our export volume, instead of trying to just find a distributor." - John Bruens, Chief Commercial and Business Development Officer
"The flexibility in the payment terms we can offer through our Ex-Im policy has allowed us to grow our business in existing markets as well as open new ones. Our Credit Department has become more flexible in dealing with payments, due to our Ex-Im policy insuring our receivables. The terms we are able to offer are much easier to work with than Letters of Credit and do not impact the cash flow of our customers the way that demanding payment in advance would, allowing them to purchase more of our products." - Jim Emme, COO
