Form EIB 12-01 Medium-Term Master Guarantee Agreement Disbursement Approval Request. Ex-Im Bank has developed an electronic disbursement approval processing system for guaranteed lenders with transactions documented under Medium-Term Master Guarantee Agreements. Once an export transaction has been authorized by the bank and legal documentation has been completed, the lender will obtain and review the required disbursement documents, such as invoices, bills of lading and exporters' certificates, and disburse the loan proceeds for eligible goods and services. In order to obtain approval of the disbursement, the lender accesses and completes an electronic questionnaire through the bank's automatic application system (ExIm Online). The bank's action (approved or declined) will be posted on the lender's history page. The information collected assists in determining that each disbursement under a Medium-Term Guarantee meets all terms and conditions for approval. (http://xrl.us/bogidr)
