For larger projects, a longer credit period is often a good selling point. With a sale of receivables, an exporter can offer precisely this without burdening their balance sheet with the receivables arising from the export business. For their bank, the business is relatively low-risk as commercial and political risk are covered, at the same time OeKB can provide them with attractive financing.
Your situation
You are an Austrian company that produces capital goods and/or complete plants, and would like to conclude a supply and/or service contract with an international client and offer them a mid to long-term credit period without having to include the incurred receivables in your accounts or bear the associated risk of non-payment.
As the exporter's bank, you wish to purchase the receivables from the export transactions. For this purchase of receivables, you need coverage and attractive refinancing.
Our service: sale of receivables with an export guarantee
As an exporter, you can grant your international client a mid to long-term credit period without over-burdening your balance sheet by selling the export receivables to your bank.
Your foreign customer repays the credit in accordance with the export contract, in the case of an "undisclosed purchase of accounts receivable" to you, and with a "disclosed purchase of accounts receivable" to your bank.
How does the G9 guarantee cover the bank’s purchase of receivables?
The G9 guarantee provides your bank with the necessary cover to purchase your receivables. If the customer abroad does not pay the receivables resulting from the export contract, the risk is still largely covered.
Here you can see a list of countries for which we can offer a G9 guarantee:
Your benefits:
The sale of receivables provides you with immediate liquidity, turning the credit into a cash transaction.
