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.

Use “Request for EKN’s consent to an extension of time for payment” for:

  • 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.
