About Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM)

The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) is the official export credit agency of the United States. The agency was originally organised as a District of Columbia banking organisation in 1934, by the name of Export-Import Bank of Washington and intended to boost national exports. The US Congress turned it into an independent agency in 1945. In 1968 further legislation changed the name into Export-Import Bank of the United States. EXIM became a self-funding agency in 2007. The EXIM Bank fills export financing gaps through its loan, guarantee, and insurance programs when the private sector is unable or unwilling to do so. It also provides export credit insurance, working capital, loan guarantees and direct loans. The Export-Import Bank of the United States adopted the Equator Principles in 2011.
