EXIM Names Trade Acceptance Group Broker of the Year for Sustained Leadership in Supporting U.S. Exporters
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) has named Trade Acceptance Group, Ltd. (TAG) the Broker of the Year, recognizing more than two decades of work helping U.S. exporters, particularly small businesses, access the trade credit tools they need to compete globally.
Based in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, and registered in Minneapolis, TAG is a small business specializing in trade credit insurance and a long-standing EXIM Platinum-tier broker licensed in more than 20 states. Over the past 20 years, the firm has built a reputation as one of EXIM’s most consistent and effective partners in connecting exporters to financing solutions.
"Trade Acceptance Group's leadership is a great example of why strong partners are so essential to what we do,” said EXIM President and Chairman John Jovanovic. “Through brokers like TAG, we're able to reach more businesses, move faster, and ensure American workers and exporters can compete around the world.
In Fiscal Year 2025, TAG led all EXIM brokers in total authorizations, closing 182 transactions, and ranked second in total authorized value at $258 million.
“We have been ardent supporters of EXIM Bank since our inception in 1996. We are honored to be consistently ranked as one of the country’s most active brokers of EXIM’s insurance programs,” said AJ Krzyanowski, Principal. “EXIM is an invaluable tool for those SME companies who are just getting started, trying to mitigate risk in challenging markets, or to match foreign competitors’ financing offers as they try to win projects overseas based on financing, and not on just product quality alone. Through our partnership with EXIM, we are excited to continue supporting U.S. exporters in the years ahead!”
At the core of TAG’s work is a strong focus on small business exporters, which make up more than 85 percent of its EXIM-supported clients. The firm is also an active participant in EXIM’s Broker Advisory Council and has received multiple Broker of the Year honors over its long partnership with the Bank, underscoring its deep experience and continued commitment to expanding access to export finance.
