Add a financing option to your offer. FIB pays the financed portion of the purchase price once the agreed conditions are met – you do not have to wait for the buyer’s later loan instalments.

For buyers

Invest.

HOW OUR SPECIALISATION HELPS YOU

Fewer open questions.
Before you sign.

Our approach

Discuss financing before signing

We discuss the down payment, loan term and payment milestones with exporters and buyers early. Both can negotiate supply and financing together.

Plan disbursement and supporting documents together

We align the export contract, loan and ECA cover. The exporter knows the conditions for disbursement; the buyer can plan the payments for the investment.

Consider repayment alongside the investment

We assess the financing need, expected cash flows and available cover. As a buyer, you can factor the agreed instalments into your liquidity planning.

ECA-BACKED. INTERNATIONALLY CONNECTED.

More cover frameworks.
More routes to explore.

The applicable cover depends in part on export origin, scope of supply, destination country and transaction structure. German Export Credit Guarantees are our core focus. FIB is also accepted as a cover holder by EIFO, KUKE, OeKB, SERV and UKEF.

FIB FRANKFURT INTERNATIONAL BANK AG

Export contract, loan and cover.
Considered together.

As a specialist bank, we consider the supply and the investment together: What is being purchased? When are payments due? What does the cover require? We turn those requirements into financing the exporter and buyer can implement.
