Export Finance and Insurance Corporation (EFIC), Australia’s export credit agency, provides specialist finance and insurance services to Australian companies exporting and investing overseas.

As well as working directly with exporters, we work closely with commercial financiers in Australia and overseas to support exporters.

As an export credit agency, EFIC operates beyond the limits of the commercial market. It provides the support you need when financial, country or industry risks exceed the capacity available in financial markets. EFIC does not compete with the commercial market, but collaborates with it to improve the competitiveness of Australian companies.

EFIC’s network also extends beyond traditional commercial sources to other export credit agencies, multilateral bodies and Australian government agencies. This can give you a competitive advantage in growing your international business.

EFIC is a self-funding statutory corporation, wholly owned by the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia.
