EKF Danmarks Eksportkredit (“the Customer”) is Denmark’s export credit agency. The Customer’s objective is to facilitate Danish companies’ internationalization opportunities and to create growth and jobs in Denmark. The Customer helps Danish enterprises to realize their export dreams by providing export credits, working capital guarantees and export loans to enable them to finance their activities and cover commercial and political risks in their export markets.

The Customer operates with a long-term perspective and the risk exposure necessary in countries and markets where the political and commercial situation may be uncertain.
The Customer is utilizing various data and financial data in the credit risk assessment of corporate risk on a global scale. The data is used for credit evaluation of corporates which the Customer’s clients (i.e. Danish export companies) export to. The export contract is accompanied by financing or insurance and the Customer makes a credit evaluation of the foreign buyer in order for the Customer to issue a guarantee covering the foreign buyer’s repayment of the credit or export contract.
