Ex-Im Bank insures receivables for exporters selling to creditworthy buyers of U.S. goods and services in order to help U.S. exporters compete against suppliers in other countries offering officially supported export credits and fill gaps in the availability of private export financing. The insurance policies cover the repayment risks on the foreign buyer's debt obligations. Ex-Im Bank guarantees that, in the event of a payment default by the borrower, it will repay the exporter the outstanding amount, with interest. By neutralizing the effect of export credit support 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. Under the Working Capital Guarantee Program, Ex-Im Bank provides repayment guarantees to lenders on secured, short-term working capital loans made to qualified exporters. The guarantee may be approved for a single loan or a revolving line of credit. In the event that a buyer defaults on a transaction insured by Ex-Im Bank the insured exporter or lender may seek payment by the submission of a claim.
