About NZECO

Page updated 14 Nov 2011

The New Zealand Export Credit Office (NZECO) provides financial guarantee and trade credit insurance products for New Zealand exporters, banks and insurers. Our products help exporters manage risk and capitalise on trade opportunities around the globe, by enabling them to mitigate credit risk, offer buyers payment terms and access trade finance.

NZECO is currently located in the Treasury and obligations to third parties are guaranteed by the New Zealand government through the Minister of Finance.

NZECO’s products are intended to extend the capacity of facilities in the private sector. The Government’s maximum liability under the scheme is NZD 740 million.
