KUKE, Polands Export Credit Agency and a leading supplier of trade-facilitating solutions, has selected Wiserfunding, a frontrunner in business credit risk intelligence to digitise risk assessments and foster global business growth. This strategic collaboration aims to increase the efficiency of KUKEs lending operations by providing real-time credit risk insights on buyers and sellers worldwide. Wiserfunding's state-of-the-art credit risk intelligence tools will integrate with KUKEs existing services, offering a more comprehensive and accurate risk profile of foreign customers and business partners of Polish producers and exporters.
KUKEs vision
KUKE's primary mission is to empower companies to engage confidently in global trade, fostering sustainable economic growth and job creation. "Our vision is to be a linchpin in enabling safe and secure trade and investments," says Katarzyna Kowalska, Deputy CEO and CRO of KUKE. "In an era of decreasing predictability in the economic environment and rapid changes in business conditions globally, our services are not just optional; they're critical."
The challenge of multi-regional risk assessment
One of the most significant challenges KUKE faces is the risk assessment of businesses operating across various geographies. Each region comes with its unique economic landscape, legal regulations, and business cultures. "Traditionally, assessing the creditworthiness and reliability of international businesses has been a time-consuming and resource-intensive task," stresses Grzegorz Kwieciski, Head of Risk Department at KUKE.
The need for digitisation
Given new challenges ahead of Polands economy and the growing needs of local businesses, KUKE recognises the necessity to amplify the digitisation of its operations to ensure agility, competition edge and customer satisfaction. "In today's fast-paced business environment, relying on manual processes and fragmented data is a roadblock to growth," ads Grzegorz Kwieciski. "That's where our partnership with Wiserfunding becomes invaluable".
As international trade continues to become more complex due to geopolitical shifts and market volatility, the partnership between KUKE and Wiserfunding offers Polish businesses a modern solution to an age-old problem. This collaboration aims not just to minimise risks but also to create new opportunities for growth and expansion.

"We're excited to provide our risk intelligence and insights to KUKEs internal platform," says Gabriele Sabato, CEO and Co-Founder of Wiserfunding. "Through our joint efforts, we aim to substantially streamline and enhance the evaluation process for international businesses, marking a significant improvement in operational efficiency and accuracy in risk management".
