EXIM Celebrates 90 Years of Service

For nine decades, the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) has played a critical role in fostering economic opportunity for U.S. companies and sustaining jobs for U.S. workers.

That mission began when EXIM was established by executive order on February 2, 1934, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to help U.S. companies and workers during the Great Depression. And it’s a mission that continues today as EXIM honors that history while charting a course toward the future.

To celebrate EXIM’s 90^th anniversary, President and Chair Reta Jo Lewis is presenting a special video message to mark this milestone.

“Here at EXIM, we strive every day to honor that heritage and achieve our mission of supporting American jobs by facilitating U.S. exports,” Chair Lewis said. “We take particular pride in our ability to support small businesses across the nation. In fact, nearly 90 percent of the total number of EXIM’s authorizations directly benefit U.S. small businesses.”
