EKN for banks

Competitive advantage for the bank and for customers

With EKN's guarantees, the bank can do more for the customers. The need for capital adequacy decreases and credit limits increase.

There are several guarantees that insure the bank's risk on the exporting company. Our most widely used guarantees insure payment in export credits from supplier or bank, but we also offer solutions for contract guarantees, discounted bills of exchange and confirmed letters of credit.
