Premium rates


This page explains how to get a premium rate from the Export Credits Guarantee Department (ECGD).

We have taken down our premium rate calculator. Further announcements about a replacement will be made in due course.

If you want to get an indication of a premium rate from us, even if you are just at the stage of preparing a tender, phone customer services or request a premium rate electronically using our customer service contact form, which you can find on the right hand side of this page. 

You will need to tell us the following information, so we suggest you have it to hand when you contact us:

  • the buyer's (or borrower's) country where you are intending to do business;
  • the product or service you are interested in;
  • your pre-credit period (the period before the starting point of credit);
  • the credit period over which the buyer (or borrower in the case of a loan) will pay for the goods & services.

Contact our customer service team to find out what help we can provide with your export contracts.
