Export-Import Bank of the United StatesThe Export-Import Bank provides export financing for companies across the country through a variety of loan guarantees and insurance programs. To support U.S. trade, the Ex-im Bank provided over $15 billion in loans, guarantees and insurance in 1994. The Ex-Im Bank does not compete with commercial lenders, but rather assumes the risks that these lenders cannot accept. Recently, the Ex-Im bank has undertaken a major effort to reach more small business exporters with improved financing facilities and services. In addition to its financing services, the Ex-Im Bank also offers group seminars, group briefings, and individual assistance regarding export financing.
