Credit insurance protects you in the event of non-payment by your customers. It helps you access more cash through your bank and allows you to offer competitive payment terms to customers.
Performance Security Insurance
Working with a new customer in another country for the first time can expose many unknowns. We help you manage the risk of a buyer calling a guarantee due to specific commercial and political risks.

Financing solutions
Give your business a competitive edge by offering appealing payment terms and easing the pressure of up-front payments. We can extend loans to your customer, covering their purchases from you so you don’t have to take on excess risk.
With our high tolerance for risk, our financing can support you to go after and deliver on international opportunities. Expand your global footprint, take on more international projects or cover your work-in-progress costs.
If you have a long-term, capital-intensive international project to finance, our expert team can provide experienced advice, financing arrangements and underwriting services to position you for success.
Get quick access to reliable capital so you can put your growth plans into action. We work with venture capital and private equity investors under their commercial terms to match investments of up to $5 million.
If your Canadian exporting business is owned or led by people identifying as women, Indigenous, Black and other dimensions of diversity, our program can provide equity capital to support your growth plans in global markets.
Working capital solutions
Whether you need working capital, financing to expand your export business or cash to set up a foreign affiliate, we can help grow your borrowing capacity. By offering your financial institution a guarantee of repayment, we make it easier to access the money you require to move forward.
Foreign Exchange Facility Guarantee
Fluctuating exchange rates keep many exporters up at night — and so do the collateral requirements that go along with hedging foreign exchange. With our guarantee in place, you can avoid posting collateral to your foreign exchange contract provider.
Account Performance Security Guarantee
Protect your cash flow by having the guarantees your customers need issued without having to put up cash or credit to the issuer as collateral. With our support, you get the benefit of pre-approval and a predictable rate for your guarantees, making it easier to go after opportunities when they arise.
Give your surety bond provider the confidence to give you the fullest possible coverage.
