Suppliers’ Credit Insurance (c- Factoring & Invoice Discounting Insurance)

​The lending bank or financial institutions obtains an insurance policy from Saudi EXIM bank and provides financing to the exporter against their export receivables. If the importer defaults, the lending bank or financial institutions will first attempt to recover from the exporter if the financing is with recourse. If the exporter also defaults, the bank or financial institutions can file a claim directly with Saudi EXIM bank, which will compensate the bank or financial institutions for the loss.
