Helping in foreign acquisitions
We have an appetite for risk. We cover most of the world’s export markets – even those commonly considered risky. But we also operate locally, here in Poland.
Securing domestic and foreign investments
Export Development Guarantee
We help companies start or expand their export business through investments carried out in Poland. A Polish company, or a foreign investor, may need a loan to invest in new operational capacity to boost exports. We provide the guarantee to the bank for the capital expenditure loan, thereby providing the security the bank requires to grant the loan.
Export Development Guarantee
We secure the risk of non-repayment of the loan granted by a bank to finance the foreign investment of a Polish company. If needed, we may also insure the completed investment against political risk or force majeure risk.
Our solutions supporting exports
Buyer Credit Insurance
Our leading solution that secures repayment of a bank loan extended to a foreign buyer of goods or services delivered by the Polish exporter. The insurance (or a guarantee) means the bank is certain of getting its money back, since KUKE compensates the bank in case the foreign customer is unable or refuses to pay for a variety of reasons. Now also available as the Shop in Poland scheme.
Working Capital Guarantee
We guarantee the timely repayment of a loan to finance exporter’s current operating expenses. A Working Capital Guarantee can be used in relation to company’s general exports or a specific export contract.
Payment Guarantee
Payment Guarantee secures the timely payment of the exporter's liabilities towards its suppliers, both in Poland and abroad. The exporter may also secure the repayment of its liabilities to banks and factors financing invoices issued by the exporter's suppliers.
Complementary solutions
L/C Guarantee
We guarantee payment from a foreign bank under letters of credit.
Factoring Insurance
We have many years of experience in working with factoring companies. We cover both export and domestic receivables purchased by the factor.
Forfaiting Insurance
We protect banks purchasing receivables under medium- and long-term export contracts from the risk of non-payment by the foreign entity.
Finance Lease Insurance
Our insurance provides a guarantee that the lessor is compensated for any loss, if the foreign customer does not pay the lease as agreed.
Counter Guarantee
Banks issuing contract guarantees can share the risk with KUKE. The Counter Guarantee may also be used by the exporter as a security for the bank issuing the contract bond.
