EXIM may share records with many authorities
EXIM may disclose FMS-NG records to outside parties including the Department of Justice, courts, congressional offices, law enforcement and regulatory authorities, contractors, NARA, intelligence entities, news media (factual information), and other agencies. EXIM will also share information with the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Do Not Pay system to identify, prevent, or recoup improper payments.
EXIM will store detailed customer PII
Starting March 27, 2026, EXIM will store detailed personal and business information in its new FMS-NG system. The records can include customer and vendor names, U.S. and foreign addresses, bank account numbers and routing/SWIFT codes, Employer Identification Numbers (EIN), phone numbers, and payment or disbursement information.
Data storage and security measures described
EXIM says FMS-NG stores records encrypted in an AWS FedRAMP-authorized cloud (US East, Northern Virginia) and requires multifactor authentication for access. Bank account numbers are stored in hashed/masked form (for example, “XXXXXX9913”), and HTTPS is used for system access.
Records retention, marking inactive, and deletion
EXIM will mark records inactive when they are no longer required for EXIM business and will retain or delete records according to National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) schedules. Data purge actions include invoice, payment, supplier, requisition, and purchase order purge criteria.
