transactions documented under Medium-Term Master Guarantee Agreements. 
After an export transaction has been authorized by EXIM Bank and legal 
documentation has been completed, the lender will obtain and review the 
required disbursement documents (e.g., invoices, bills of lading, 
Exporter's Certificate, etc.) and will disburse the proceeds of the 
loan for eligible goods and services. In order to obtain approval of 
the disbursement, the lender will access and complete an electronic 
questionnaire through EXIM Bank's online application system (EXIM 
Online). Using the form, the lender will input key data and request 
EXIM Bank's approval of the disbursement. EXIM Bank's action (approved 
or denied) is posted on the lender's history page.
    The information collected in the questionnaire will assist EXIM 
Bank in determining that each disbursement under a Medium-Term 
Guarantee meets all the terms and conditions for approval.
