Structured Trade

Scotiabank’s financing solutions are individually designed and tailored to support your import and export sales.

We offer short-term, medium-term, and long-term financing that can be structured as buyer’s credit or supplier’s credit/receivables purchase facilities.

We also offer extended repayment terms, including grace periods, to match your buyer’s financing needs. In addition, we can work with export credit agencies throughout the world to make export credit facilities available.

Scotiabank uses risk mitigation tools and techniques to minimise foreign exposure while supporting your cross-border sales. Some of our risk-mitigation approaches include export credit agencies and multi-lateral agencies:

• Access export credit programs available from major export credit agencies such as US EX-IM, EDC, ECGD, JBIC, COFACE, CESCE, EKN, Hermes, and SACE
• Acquire project and investment guarantees from multi-lateral and bi-lateral agencies, including MIGA, IFC, IDB, ADB, DEG, FMO, and CDB
