Counter Guarantee
In some cases a Norwegian company may be asked to provide a bank guarantee to its foreign customers. The bank guarantee may cover actual delivery, advance payment or other risks the buyer takes. This is called a counter guarantee.
About the product

For bank guarantees up to NOK 10 million, Eksfin may consider covering up to 70%.
The following counter guarantees are issuable:

Eksfin can also provide risk mitigation of unfair calling on the bond guarantees

How to apply for counter guarantee
Who can apply?
Eksfin issues the guarantee to the Exporter’s bank or other financial institution. The bank therefore sends the application to Eksfin.

How much does it cost?
Eksfin charges the same premium as the bank’s risk premium.
An extra guarantee premium is charged for coverage of unfair calling on the bond guarantee.
