What we do

Greater security

A Yes from EKF can offer you greater security on the export markets. EKF covers many of the financial and political risks which may be associated with trading and investment globally.
In other parts of the world things are often done quite differently than what we are used to in our own country, and many countries and businesses are subject to political or economic instability. Financial problems can mean that the customer is suddenly unable to pay, and political conditions can make it impossible to carry out business transactions.

EKF is the only institution in Denmark that can step in and cover risks that banks and other financial institutions are unable to accept. With a guarantee from us, you and your bank can feel secure in the knowledge that you will get your money, even if a buyer is unable or unwilling to pay, and even if the political situation in a country makes doing business impossible. If something goes wrong, we will pay.

EKF covers:

> If your buyer or your buyer’s bank does not pay for a product.

> If the product cannot be delivered, e.g. due to armed conflict or import
   bans, or if the authorities detain the shipment.

> If your buyer demands security for the deal and then draws on the
   provided security without justification.

> If the buyer cancels the order.

> If your company loses capital invested in a foreign subsidiary due to 
   nationalisation, unrest or armed conflict.

Solutions


We will jointly tailor a solution to meet your specific requirements. When it comes to providing you with greater security, you will typically benefit from one or more of the following products:
 
Allows you to offer foreign buyers long-term credit. The guarantee provides security for your money if a foreign buyer fails to pay as agreed.
 
Insures you against loss if your foreign buyer wrongfully draws on a guarantee that you have issued to the buyer as security for a tender, an advance payment or a delivery.
 
Allows you to arrange financing for letters of credit and bills of exchange in new markets where the bank normally declines to accept the risk. These guarantees secure your bank against the risk of making a loss.
 
Insures you against loss if you are prevented from supplying a specific order to a foreign buyer due to breach of contract or political factors such as unrest, import bans and restrictions imposed by the country's authorities.
 
Insures you against loss if you are fully or partially prevented from delivering a project to a foreign buyer, due, for example, to unrest in the country, an embargo, restrictions imposed by the country's authorities or the buyer breaching the contract.
 
Insures you against loss when you invest in a country with unstable political conditions, such as risk of war (external armed conflict and domestic political violence), nationalisation or a ban on taking money out of the country.
 
Allows you to retain exports in countries outside the OECD which would otherwise be halted because your credit insurance company declines to accept the risk of insuring the transactions.
