Our service: The Kontrollbank Credit Line (KRR)

As your bank’s partner, OeKB offers working capital loans for your ongoing export activities. The maximum credit amount granted under the KRR is determined by your export receivables. In addition, your export orders can be taken into account with a maximum of 10% of last year's export turnover.

If your bank grants your company a KRR, the Republic of Austria can take over part of the risk with a guarantee by aval: A maximum of 80% of the financing volume, whereby the amount may not exceed 15% of the export turnover or 60 million euros. This allows your bank to grant you an attractive credit framework to finance your export transactions.

OeKB sets the KRR interest rate on a quarterly basis.
