OUR APPROACH
Clarify the financing.
Plan delivery and payment.
Whether you export machinery or invest in new equipment, we start with your project, the payment terms and the role required of FIB. Together, we work through the steps from the initial structure to disbursement and repayment.
Understand the supply, investment and financing need
What is being supplied, to whom and in which country? We discuss contract value, delivery dates, payment terms and the buyer’s financing need.
For you: an initial view of the financing and cover that may be available.
Align the payment schedule and cover
We consider the down payment, possible loan term and repayment alongside the export contract and ECA requirements. For more complex projects, we include other banks and the proposed syndication or sub-participation structure.
For you: a basis for negotiating financing and commercial terms together.
Prepare the credit decision and contracts
We carry out the credit assessment and work with the parties to define cover, contracts and disbursement conditions. Depending on the mandate, we prepare our role as lender, syndicate bank, arranger, structurer or agent.
For you: clarity on the approvals, documents and supporting evidence still needed.
Disburse and accompany repayment
Once the agreed conditions are met, disbursement takes place under the loan agreement. The buyer repays according to the agreed schedule. Where agreed, we also perform the ongoing agent function.
For you: payment to the exporter is separate from the buyer’s later loan instalments.
Start with the details of your project.
Submit the key information through FIB x PORTal. New users can create an account there. If the scope of supply or payment schedule is still open, discuss the project directly with our team.
