About Our Company

Export Capital Funding, Inc.’s (ECF) core business is the origination, processing and servicing of term loans to foreign importers purchasing US manufactured machinery and equipment. ECF, a Florida corporation, was formed to continue the Trade Finance core business developed over the past several years by ECF’s international banking management team. ECF has developed numerous, well established, continuing relationships across multiple industries throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia, Africa, and most recently in Eastern Europe. ECF is concentrating on the niche market of ExIm Bank supported, medium-term insured and guaranteed loan products. Our target market is focused throughout the world, wherever the Export-Import Bank of the United States (ExIm Bank) provides export coverage.

ECF has the market knowledge, primary and secondary money market resources, and experience to generate medium-term & short-term ExIm Bank backed loans to foreign buyers of U.S. manufactured raw material and inventories. Short-Term lines are typically one-year revolvers with different shipments dates and 90-180 day maturities from funding date. Special requests for ExIm Bank projects and long-term financing can also be accommodated.

ECF is a Servicing Resource for Banks engaging in this lending product. ECF’s operating systems and staffing infrastructure allow us to service both Short and Medium Term loans for strategic partner banks allowing them to grow earning assets and Return on Income (ROI) at a higher return. In providing that “back office” support, ECF can originate, process, underwrite, and service loan portfolios while our partner banks reduce operating overhead. We invite serious inquiries from banking institutions.

Export Financing Programs

Export Capital Funding, Inc. (ECF) offers financing to meet the needs of U.S. Exporters and their foreign Importers engaging in the sale and purchase of inventories, capital equipment and services of U.S. origin. Typically, the Importer will be the purchaser of the products and will become the borrower under the terms of financing. ECF is an authorized Master Guarantee Agreement (MGA) Lender by the Export-Import Bank of United States (Ex-Im Bank, a U.S. Government Agency) to engage in direct financing of exports. ECF also maintains Strategic Alliance agreements with several major U.S. commercial banks to partner in providing financial support to Importers and Exporters. ECF combines these resources to tailor the most accessible and economical financing available. This is how it works:

There are basically Short Term and Medium Term financing programs available.

·         Short Term programs are 1 year Lines of Credit for repetitive sales from one or more exporters to foreign importers for single or multiple purchases of inventories of bulk or finished goods inventories. Tenor for purchases is between 60-180 days. The U.S. $ amount is unlimited.

·         Medium Term programs are 2-5 year Term Loans for single sales from one or more exporters to foreign importers for their purchases of capital equipment. Payment installments are typically every 6 months until the end of the term. Maximum amount is U.S. $10 Million. Amounts in excess of $10 Million can also be financed. If this is needed, please contact us direct.

·         Long Term programs in excess of 7 years are available for special projects.

All programs are supported by credit enhancement products of the Export-Import Bank of United States. Credit enhancement products are in the form of Export Credit Insurance or Guarantees. This form of credit enhancement becomes the foundation of the actual Term Loan or Line of Credit ultimately provided to the Importer.

Related Fees and Interest Rates

The total cost of borrowing contains various components, such as Application Fees, Credit Facility Fees, ExIm Bank Exposure Fees, Interest Rate, Legal Due Diligence Fees, and Legal Documentation closing expenses. ECF can provide an Analysis of the total cost of the borrowing over the term and compared to local borrowing costs for Importers upon request.

·         Interest rates are highly competitive. They can be fixed or floating. It is common to receive a quote of floating rate interest as a base rate. The base reference rate is either LIBOR or Prime with an interest spread above that reference rate. The actual rate of interest is determined at the time of a quote and is based on several risk conditions to include country risk, borrower credit condition, market risk and product financed.

·         Application and Credit Facility Fees are the cost of application processing and underwriting the borrower. These are paid, respectively, at the time of initiation, and ExIm Approval and Legal Documentation closing.

·         All Legal Fees are paid at closing.

  • ExIm Bank Exposure Fees are predetermined based on risk factors.
