About
Since 2011, we’ve been recognized as one of the top-performing agricultural lenders by the American Bankers Association. Much of our success in the ag industry is due to our commitment to innovation. It is absolutely critical that we keep pushing innovation to move agricultural lending into the future with new applications and services to best serve farmers and ranchers.
Evolution of Input Financing
Choice Bank offers several traditional ag solutions from seasonal operating loans, equipment financing and leasing, livestock purchasing options and more. Our new Ag Supplier Financing Program creates a customized plan and cost structure for ag retailers and agronomy centers that specifically meets their needs. We built an online experience for producers applying for retailer credit accounts that is extremely simple. From application to signing their loan docs, it can all be done from a smartphone or tablet in the seat of their tractor. There is great value in providing a crucial form of capital they need in a quick convenient format.
While this Ag Supplier Financing Program is exclusive to retailer-based credit needs today, we see this as the direction more traditional ag lending products will trend in the future. There is major innovation happening in agriculture and we’re making sure the financing piece of that environment isn’t left behind.
Our programs were born from listening to farmers and those agribusiness partners and working to solve their finance-related problems and serve their needs managing day-to-day operations.
Pairing Solutions With Experience
We have an agriculture expert in every corner. Many of our team members have either grown up on a farm or have experience working in agriculture or agribusiness. I, myself, spent my youth working on farms and know what it’s like to work in the field from dawn to dusk. We apply the lessons we’ve learned to help provide better solutions for the next generation of farmers.
When you work with our seasoned experts, you are much more than just a business transaction. Farmers come to us for advice and guidance, meaning bankers often become a counselor of sorts, providing knowledge, tools and resources for farmers and ranchers to operate successfully.
By simplifying the lending process, we put the customer first and live out our #PeopleFirst motto. We are constantly asking for and receiving feedback from farmers about their experience working with us and we continue making the process as efficient and farmer-friendly as possible.
The customer is the top priority. Being a #PeopleFirst ag lender means we pay close attention to a product or service, and the experience from start to finish. How the customer reacts today influences how we respond, innovate, and lead our industry and company into the future.
