Our ECA services: from standardised products to customized solutions
The world is constantly changing. This is leading to a permanent change in global requirements of goods and services. Financing has top priority particularly when it comes to global exports. AKA has been specialising in export finance for 70 years, focussing on the emerging markets.
AKA is constantly enhancing its range of services. At the same time, it never loses sight of the specific needs of banks, exporters, importers and investors. AKA finances exports from all over Europe steadily expanding its business relations with the European export credit agencies (ECAs) and opening up part of its service range to all banks.
In the case of Small Ticket ECA finance, the AKA SmaTiX portal enables German exporters to obtain fast and easy indicative financing offers for export transactions in the Small-Ticket-range. AKA is increasingly also participating in large-scale ECA-covered project finance from European sources. However, business in ECA-covered finance is and will remain the basis for all other developments.
ECA-covered Small Tickets
Small Tickets pose various challenges for many banks. AKA can offer standardised and easy-to-handle financing solutions for Small Ticket transactions with its digital solution SmaTiX, a portal offering fully digitalised applications with transparent and comprehensible entry criteria.
ECA-covered finance
AKA was founded in 1952 as a specialised institution for ECA-covered finance. Since then, it has been addressing the entire range of ECA finance – from Small Ticket transactions to participations in large-scale project finance, helping banks to broaden their scope.
