DFC generally provides financing of up to $1 billion and for terms between 5 and 25 years, subject to federal credit law and other requirements.
DFC financing generally is to be on a senior basis (i.e., paid first, on an equal footing with other senior debt). Financing may be denominated and repayable in either U.S. dollars or foreign currencies on a case-by-case basis.
DFC can provide direct loans to clients who lack a funding source of their own and require DFC to arrange physical disbursement of funds. DFC disburses funds directly from the U.S. Treasury and lends them to an eligible borrower. The interest rate generally is a fixed base rate provided by the U.S. Treasury plus a risk premium.
