Environmental technology

Eksfin has various solutions to offer exporters in environmental technology and green solutions, such as water purification, waste management, electric charging solutions, and other technologies that help to make society more sustainable.

Examples of such guarantees are advance and contract guarantees, which buyers often require in order to secure any advance payments and to ensure that the Norwegian supplier delivers in accordance with the contract.
