Refinancing guarantee
By issuing a refinancing guarantee, SERV promises the refinancing financial institution to honour on first written demand the payment obligations imposed by a refinancing loan agreement on a financial institution providing export credit. The refinancing guarantee allows the financial institution providing the export credit to obtain better refinancing terms.
Refinancing guarantees are always issued in combination with Buyer Credit Insurance or supplier credit insurance assigned to a bank.
It thus covers the risk that the financial institution that provided the export credit may not repay the refinancing loan provided by the refinancing institution.
- Maximum cover ratio: 100%

Object of cover
The principal claims and ancillary claims of the refinancing financial institution against a financial institution granting an export credit.
Risks covered
The non-payment risks of the financial institution that grants the export credit; the credit must be insured by SERV.

SERV’s liability under the refinancing guarantee begins on its issue and expires on the surrender of the refinancing guarantee, the discharge of SERV by the guarantor, the fulfilment of the claim guaranteed by the refinancing guarantee or on the expiry of a fixed time limit.
