Applying for export credit and bill of exchange financing, and information about the process

• The precondition for granting the export credit and bill of exchange financing is that the exporter, or the Finnish parent company of the exporter, applies for the credit to its buyer and provides information on the export transaction in question.
• The application forms are available on Finnvera’s website: application form export credit from Finnvera and application form bill of exchange financing.
• Using the same application form, the exporter can also apply for a credit risk guarantee for themselves, to cover risks during manufacturing or payment of receivables.

Banks provide financing for manufacture and arrange bank guarantees for the export contract. Finnvera may be involved in these arrangements as a guarantor.

No, the export credit and bill of exchange financing can be applied for by a Finnish exporter.
