Foreign Exchange Insurance allows us to prepare quotes for our client in their own currency. This allows us to work in both dollars and pounds sterling at the same time as we create the quote, so we can do so well in advance, and we no longer have to worry about risk. It's a great tool!

To my knowledge, Bpifrance is the only company in Europe that can cover this type of risk, and I recommend it to all businesses and SME friends. Foreign Exchange Insurance is a simple and quick tool that has eliminated a major concern for us: currency fluctuations during the negotiation phase. Thanks again, Bpifrance.

Multi-Order Change Insurance FAQ

Orders with at least 20% French share (excluding international trade). Forecast orders that are not invoiced and paid before the date of determination of the guaranteed forward rate (notification of approval). Orders expressed in the guaranteed currency and destined for a country open to the Export Financing Policy.
No, the insurance expires at the end of the requested period of validity or when the amount of the envelope is exhausted. Once the envelope is exhausted or expires, the exporter will have to put in place a new guarantee involving new coverage conditions and a new premium to pay.
No, the insurance runs from the date the guaranteed forward rate is determined until the end of its validity. There is no premium refund if orders are not obtained.
The rate and amount of the premium is determined based on 3 characteristics: the guaranteed order base expressed in Euro; the currency (USD, GBP, CAD) and the validity period (3 to 12 months). The premium is calculated on the day the futures price is quoted and payable within 15 days following this date.
The guaranteed forward rate is calculated from the spot rate (USD, GBP, CAD) on the day of the quotation to which the forward points are allocated. The forward points correspond to the increase or decrease of the spot rate depending on the interest rate differential (between the guaranteed currency and the Euro) used by Bpifrance. The quotation of the guaranteed forward rate is carried out after the transmission of the guarantee promise and on the date requested by the exporter.
The exporter declares by email the orders invoiced the previous month, specifying the payment due date(s) (in compliance with the payment deadline initially notified). Orders must be grouped and declared monthly, the first week following the invoicing month, and at the latest the week following the expiry date of the validity period.
No. Since the declaration to Bpifrance is made at the end of the invoicing month, orders that are not valid at the time of declaration do not need to be declared.
