How Does it Work?
Working Capital Guarantee encourages commercial lenders to make working capital loans by providing them with a 90% loan backing guarantee, which decreases
their risk. With Ex-Im Bank our Delegated Authority Lenders - lending partners with whom we have agreements - can expedite your loan process by evaluating your
eligibility against our requirements, and offer our guarantee before we transact with the lender. You'll get the loan you need when you need it.
