Purchase of Export Receivables (Export Forfaiting Facility)
The purchase of export receivables constitutes an integral component of the Government Programme for the Financial Support of Exports. Within this framework, Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (BGK) refinances the trade credit extended by a Polish exporter – insured by the Export Credit Insurance Corporation (KUKE S.A.) – to an international buyer.
In order to execute the assignment and transfer of export receivables to BGK, the exporter must satisfy the following criteria:
- Be actively executing a commercial contract for the export of Polish commodities and/or services, finalised under trade credit terms; and
- Secure comprehensive underwriting coverage for its supplier credit accounts receivable from KUKE (utilising the designated Supplier Credit Policy).
It is strongly recommended to initiate formal consultations with our institution prior to the execution and signing of the underlying export contract.
Transactional Expenditures and Assignment Procedures
The operational costs associated with this facility are determined on an individual basis, contingent upon the specific structural characteristics of the transaction and the financial solvency (standing) of the debtor. The procedural framework for the bank’s purchase of receivables is streamlined and operates independently, requiring no institutional participation from a foreign banking corporation.
Application Path
To evaluate eligibility regarding the purchase of export receivables, please initiate formal communication with our bureau and transmit the following documentation:
- The draft text or formalised project structure of the underlying export contract;
- A preliminary underwriting confirmation from KUKE S.A. indicating that the prospective receivables qualify for credit insurance coverage;
- The financial statements and corporate disclosures of the importer (debtor) corresponding to the most recently concluded fiscal year and the preceding financial quarter (documentation drafted in the English language is preferred).
