MONTREAL, Jan. 21, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - National Bank announces a partnership with Export Development Canada (EDC) to offer an express export guarantee for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The Bank is the first financial institution in Canada to offer this new express export guarantee program.
Thanks to its simplified qualification process, the program makes it possible for exporters to obtain a loan guaranteed by EDC twice as quickly as before. Therefore, this simple and efficient process makes export financing more accessible.
The guarantee can give exporters greater borrowing capacity. It grants access to additional financing by way of working capital, competitive repayment conditions and better risk protection when doing business abroad.
This offer is aligned with National Bank's commitment to supporting small and medium-sized enterprises in Canada with their export activities. It is available to businesses with financing needs up to $1.25 million.
