Frequently asked questions
How does tr8fin differ from a traditional export credit insurer?
tr8fin does not underwrite risk itself. It acts as a digital coordinator that assembles the export transaction details, prepares the application, and submits it to Euler Hermes for the German state-backed guarantee. It then adds bank partners for the optional forfaiting of the resulting receivable.
What is the minimum transaction size tr8fin handles?
The platform explicitly targets export transactions starting at €50,000. This is the small-ticket end of the market that legacy export finance processes often find uneconomical.
Does tr8fin provide the financing itself or broker it?
tr8fin does not provide direct financing. For the receivable purchase step, the exporter's claim is offered to tr8fin's network of partner banks. The exporter chooses whether to accept any resulting bank offer.
What role does Euler Hermes play on the tr8fin platform?
Euler Hermes acts as the mandated administrator for the German federal export credit guarantee scheme. After tr8fin prepares the application, it submits it to Euler Hermes for the official government review. If approved, the exporter receives the guarantee through the platform.
Is tr8fin available to non-German companies?
The platform's public materials focus entirely on German exporters. All regulatory references relate to the German federal export credit guarantee program, indicating the service is designed for companies based in Germany.
