The present study addresses the internationalization of small and medium-sized enterprises by relating their share of export to funding, transaction services, advice, knowledge and contacts that banks can offer. It thus contributes to SME internationalization research by addressing knowledge acquisition from institutional actors such as banks but also by taking this one step further, differentiating between the contributions from different types of resources and services that banks can provide. The study method is an on-site survey, encompassing 135 manufacturing Swedish SMEs. The results provide a more nuance picture of the ways that banks support the internationalization of SMEs.
