The Export Import Bank of the US
(Ex-Im Bank) pursuant to the Export Import Bank Act of 1945, as
amended (12 USC 635, et seq), facilitates the finance of export of
U.S. goods and services. By neutralizing the effect of export
credit insurance and guarantees offered by foreign governments and
by absorbing credit risks that the private sector will not accept,
Ex-Im Bank enables U.S. exporters to compete fairly in foreign
markets on the basis of price and product. This collection of
information is used by exporters to convey legal rights to their
financial institution lenders to share insurance policy proceeds
from Ex-Im Bank approved insurance claims. This form represents the
exporter's directive to Ex-Im Bank to whom and where the insurance
proceeds should be sent. The forms are typically part of the
documentation required by financial institution lenders in order to
provide financing of an exporter's foreign accounts receivable.
Foreign accounts receivable insured by Ex-Im Bank represent
stronger collateral to secure the financing. By recording which
policyholders have completed this form, Ex-Im Bank is able to
determine how many of its exporter policyholders require Ex-Im Bank
insurance policies to support lender financing.
