Extension of time for payment and prolongation
When your customer cannot pay and you would like to agree to an extension of time of payment in a guaranteed transaction, you have to submit a request for EKN’s consent to the extension.
This also applies if you need to prolong the term in a contract guarantee, if the tenor is changed in a working capital credit or if the due date in a Letter of Credit needs to be changed.
In order for EKN to receive the necessary information for such a decision you need to submit a specific form for your relevant guarantee, see Document.

- Guarantee for trade receivables, credit period maximum 12 months
- Guarantee for loss on claim for exporter, credit period over 12 months
- Guarantee for loss on production and loss on claim
- Guarantee for loss on claim for bank
- Bills of exchange guarantee
Use “Request for EKN’s consent to prolongation of term/tenor or change of due date” for:
- Counter guarantee
- Working capital guarantee
- Investment credit guarantee
- Letter of credit guarantee
Complete the form and send it to EKN official responsible for the transaction. If you have any questions, please contact your responsible EKN official.
