WASHINGTON, D.C. - Commercial lenders can learn how to become Delegated Authority Lenders under the Working Capital Guarantee program of the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) at a training seminar March 10 in Dallas, Texas, hosted by Ex-Im Bank and the Greater Dallas Chamber of Commerce.

Delegated authority status enables lenders to approve working capital loans guaranteed by Ex-Im Bank without prior approval from Ex-Im Bank, expediting exporters' access to capital. There are more than 200 Ex-Im Bank Delegated Authority Lenders nationwide.

Exporters also are invited to attend a one-on-one breakfast roundtable March 11 where they can learn about Ex-Im Bank programs and ask questions.
