Summary
Ex‐Im Bank has developed an electronic disbursement approval processing system for guaranteed
lenders with Credit Guarantee Facilities. After a Credit Guarantee Facility (CGF) has been authorized by
Ex‐Im Bank and legal documentation has been completed, the Lender will obtain and review the
required disbursement documents (e.g. invoices, bills of lading, Exporter’s Certificates, etc.) and will
disburse the proceeds of the loan for eligible goods and services. The Lender will access and complete
an electronic questionnaire through ExIm Online inputting key data and requesting approval of the
disbursement. Ex‐Im Bank’s action (approved or declined) will be posted on the Lender’s history page.
Eligible costs in the following categories may be authorized by Ex‐Im Bank and the electronic
disbursement approval request will have variations depending on the type of cost selected:
U.S. goods and services
Local cost goods and services
CGFs denominated in a foreign currency may be authorized. Disbursements under these transactions
have special foreign exchange conversion rules depending on whether the U.S. exporter receives
payment in U.S. dollars or a foreign currency under the terms of its supply contract. There are slight
variations in the request which reflect the foreign exchange conversion approach:
Fixed (the U.S. Exporter is paid in foreign currency): The Lender is required to enter all financial
data in foreign currency values and the System will convert the information to U.S. dollars based
on a pre‐approved fixed exchange rate associated to the transaction.
Floating (the U.S. Exporter is paid in U.S. dollars): The Lender is required to enter the total
amount of the request in both U.S. dollars and foreign currency values so that a conversion rate
can be established with the remaining financial data entered only in U.S. dollars.
The remainder of this document will provide screenshots of the sample Disbursement Request Forms
that can be submitted by a Lender through the Ex‐Im Online System. These forms are only available in
electronic format and therefore all Lenders are required to submit for approval “on‐line.” The on‐line
process helps to confirm that all necessary data is collected up‐front by enforcing data validations upon
submission as well as ensuring the integrity of the data, meaning what was entered by the Lender, is
what is received by Ex‐Im Bank. As mentioned earlier, the decision to approve or decline a
disbursement request is recorded on the history page and, in addition, is communicated via email to the
individual assigned as the contact person on the disbursement request form. Depending on certain
attributes of the transaction, the System will dynamically display the appropriate request form (i.e., if
the transaction is a foreign currency deal, if the transaction contains local cost, etc.). In addition, the
System will automatically display certain fields that are “view‐only.” This is data that Ex‐Im Bank is able
to pre‐populate based on transaction details stored in our transaction processing systems. These fields

are included in the Transaction Information Section.
The System will default the Contact Information fields based on the contact information submitted with
the disbursement request and provide the option for the Lender to update this information. The
contact person will receive all email correspondence distributed by the System in reference to the
disbursement request submitted.
Lastly, the System will require at least one invoice entry to be included with a disbursement request as
well as any required field will be designed with an asterisk (*). For transactions where the Exposure Fee
was paid up front and not financed, the System will not require the Lender to input the Exposure Fee
amount and Date Exposure Fee paid. This information is known by the System because it is data that is
collected prior to disbursement and subsequently stored in Ex‐Im Online.

To better understand what is being communicated in the following pages, see below for a list of
acronyms and their corresponding definition:
CGF – Credit Guarantee Facility
FC – Foreign Currency

USD – US Dollar
EOL – Ex‐Im Online
The following section provides workflow diagrams, which define the process that will lead the
System to determine which form should be presented to the Lender. In order to better illustrate the
data collected for each form, a matrix has been included to show the data elements captured for
each variation of the disbursement request form. In addition, Section III includes sample
screenshots of each request form with the appropriate reference to a particular workflow process
(i.e. A. Disbursement Request Form – CGF Guarantee (US Cost) corresponds to CGF Guarantee –
US Cost Workflow “Form A reference” and “Form A” on the matrix).

Workflow processes
The workflow diagrams illustrate the System processes that occur when identifying which disbursement
request form to display to the Lender. Section III provides sample screenshots which correspond to an
“end state” outlined through the workflow as well as a column in the data matrix outlining the specific
elements displayed on a particular form (see section II.B ) .

Accessing a Transaction
Once logged into ExIm Online, the System will present the Lender with a menu of options asking the
Lender, “What do you want to do today?” On the left hand side, the Lender will select “Manage –
Request a Disbursement Approval” (see below).
From this screen, the System will ask the Lender what action they want to take and the Lender will
select to “Start a New Request”.
Once this option is selected, the System will display a listing of transactions associated to the Lender.
Based on the transaction selected, the System will display the appropriate disbursement request screens
which are included in Section III of this document.
