Performance Security Insurance

Working with a new customer in another country for the first time can expose many unknowns. We help you manage the risk of a buyer calling a guarantee due to specific commercial and political risks.

Working Capital Solution – Export Development Canada

Export Guarantee Program

Whether you need working capital, financing to expand your export business or cash to set up a foreign affiliate, we can help grow your borrowing capacity. By offering your financial institution a guarantee of repayment, we make it easier to access the money you require to move forward.

Foreign Exchange Facility Guarantee

Fluctuating exchange rates keep many exporters up at night — and so do the collateral requirements that go along with hedging foreign exchange. With our guarantee in place, you can avoid posting collateral to your foreign exchange contract provider. 

Account Performance Security Guarantee

Protect your cash flow by having the guarantees your customers need issued without having to put up cash or credit to the issuer as collateral. With our support, you get the benefit of pre-approval and a predictable rate for your guarantees, making it easier to go after opportunities when they arise.

Surety bonds

Give your surety bond provider the confidence to give you the fullest possible coverage.
