Buyer Credit Facility
How the Buyer Credit Facility works, its benefits, eligibility and how to apply.
Our Buyer Credit Facility provides a guarantee to a bank making a loan to an overseas buyer, so that capital goods, service and/or intangibles can be purchased.
This facility enables the exporter to receive payment up-front as though it was a cash contract, while the buyer can access extended repayment terms.
The loan is typically repaid over a period of 2 years or longer by the borrower, while the exporter receives payment via the credit facility as amounts fall due under the export contract.
