The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) is the official
export credit agency of the United States. Ex-Im Bank's mission is to assist in
financing the export of U.S. goods and services to international markets.
Ex-Im Bank enables U.S. companies — large and small — to turn export
opportunities into real sales that help to maintain and create U.S. jobs and
contribute to a stronger national economy.
Ex-Im Bank does not compete with private sector lenders but provides export
financing products that fill gaps in trade financing. We assume credit and
country risks that the private sector is unable or unwilling to accept. We also
help to level the playing field for U.S. exporters by matching the financing
that other governments provide to their exporters.
Ex-Im Bank provides working capital guarantees (pre-export financing); export
credit insurance; and loan guarantees and direct loans (buyer financing). No
transaction is too large or too small. On average, 85% of our transactions
directly benefit U.S. small businesses.
With more than 70 years of experience, Ex-Im Bank has supported more than
$400 billion of U.S. exports, primarily to developing markets worldwide.
