PNC is a founding stockholder in PEFCO, a private organization that helps finance the sale of U.S. exports. Like Ex-Im Bank, PEFCO is a source of competitive financing that can supplement financing available from commercial lenders.

OPIC was established to help put U.S. private capital and business expertise to work in the development of emerging economies. OPIC offers several programs to accomplish this objective and PNC can advise you through the application process and help your business get OPIC support.

Forfaiting is the purchase of an exporter's receivables at a discount. The exporter receives cash, and is relieved of the risk of late payment or default.
