Export financing with ECA
Together with AKA Bank, the specialist provider of export financing, you can also conclude ECA-covered transactions via Deutsche Leasing.
The principle
An Export Credit Agency (ECA) promotes export business on behalf of a state such as the Federal Republic of Germany - especially in emerging and developing countries. This is made possible by hedging credit risks through governmental credit insurance. In Germany, Euler Hermes AG is the official partner of the government for export financing.
ECA financing is an important solution for German manufacturers as well as their customers abroad.
Your partner: Deutsche Leasing
Risk mitigation and credit protection for export transactions are of enormous importance, especially in uncertain times. Together with AKA Bank, the specialist provider of export financing, Deutsche Leasing offers ECA-covered transactions:
- Small tickets: from as little as €1 million investment volume
- Worldwide: in more than 60 countries - far beyond Deutsche Leasing's country network
Advantages for the exporter:
- Protection against default of receivables: The exporter transfers the entire risk to the Federal Government and Deutsche Leasing, thus ensuring secure payment flows with zero risk.
- New sales opportunities with previously excluded customers
- Exporter as "problem solver”
- Integration of services
Advantages for the borrower abroad:
- Financing with long terms for adequate instalments
- Repayment structure is matched to expected cash flow
- Acceptable interest rates (usually below local interest rates)
- No impact on the existing credit lines
