Export-Import Bank of the United States

EXIM supports medium-term financing structured as finance leases and installment loans. EXIM guarantees lease financing of U.S. goods and services to creditworthy international lessees when financing is otherwise unavailable or applicable.

U.S. exporters of capital equipment and services face challenges when pursuing international sales. Foreign buyers requiring extended-term financing may face borrowing rates in their home countries that prevent them from buying U.S. products and services.

For many U.S. exporters, a lack of financing can stand in the way of global growth. EXIM has several forms of support that can provide a solution:

Foreign buyers often demand the protection of standby letters of credit serving as bid or performance bonds in order to award contracts to U.S. exporters. As such, many exporters need the ability to meet their buyers' bonding requirements in order to grow their international portfolios.

Sometimes, American ingenuity needs a hand to unlock the necessary cash flow. That was the case for Competitive Engineering Inc. (CEI), a leader in the engineering and manufacturing industry that provides precision-machined parts worldwide.
