The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) announced on May 4 that Trade Acceptance Group, Ltd. (TAG) has been named Broker of the Year in recognition of its more than two decades assisting U.S. exporters, especially small businesses, with trade credit solutions.
The award highlights TAG’s longstanding role as a key partner in helping American companies access global markets through EXIM’s trade credit insurance programs. The firm is based in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin and registered in Minneapolis, operating as a Platinum-tier broker licensed in over 20 states.
“Trade Acceptance Group’s leadership is a great example of why strong partners are so essential to what we do,” said EXIM President and Chairman John Jovanovic. “Through brokers like TAG, we’re able to reach more businesses, move faster, and ensure American workers and exporters can compete around the world.”
In Fiscal Year 2025, TAG led all EXIM brokers with 182 transactions closed and ranked second by total authorized value at $258 million. AJ Krzyanowski, Principal at TAG, said: “We have been ardent supporters of EXIM Bank since our inception in 1996. We are honored to be consistently ranked as one of the country’s most active brokers of EXIM’s insurance programs.” Krzyanowski added: “EXIM is an invaluable tool for those SME companies who are just getting started, trying to mitigate risk in challenging markets, or to match foreign competitors’ financing offers as they try to win projects overseas based on financing, and not on just product quality alone. Through our partnership with EXIM, we are excited to continue supporting U.S. exporters in the years ahead!”
Small business exporters make up more than 85 percent of TAG’s clients supported by EXIM services. The company also participates actively on EXIM’s Broker Advisory Council and has received multiple Broker of the Year honors throughout its partnership with the bank.
As an independent agency within the federal government structure, EXIM supports American jobs by facilitating exports through various financial products such as export credit insurance and loan guarantees.
