Export Finance

Fortis Merchant Banking has long-standing expertise in medium- and long-term export financing, which can help your company to negotiate export contracts successfully, allowing you to sell more –more profitably – abroad.

Our clients

We serve exporters of capital goods and services from all over the world, as well as importers of capital goods and services in the emerging markets.

How we can help you

For importers, Fortis Merchant Banking can provide access to attractive financing conditions, both in terms of pricing and tenors.

For exporters, we can empower you to propose more interesting payment conditions to your counterparts, and we can help you to eliminate a large proportion of the risks attached to the deferred payment conditions of your transactions. Our dedicated export finance teams can offer you both tailor-made and standard products, depending on the needs of your buyer and on the underlying export transaction. Our solutions include: 

  • tailor-made buyer's credits in a multisourcing environment 
  • soft loans 
  • pre-export finance structures (triangular financing) 
  • refinanced L/Cs 
  • General Purpose Lines of Credits 
  • forfaiting

Fortis Merchant Banking: the right choice

Export finance clients choose Fortis Merchant Banking because of our extensive multisource experience (combining ECA, PRI, commercial and multilateral financing), and our international network of dedicated specialist desks. If you and/or your suppliers source in various countries, solutions can be provided in a single multisourced financial package. We have a strong track record, having set up this type of financing involving ECA's of more than 20 different countries in North America, wider Europe and the major Asian export countries, as well as all major multilateral financial organisations. And thanks to our intensive use of private risk insurance instruments, we have pre-negotiated agreements with all major underwriters enabling to arrange financing in a very short timeframe.
