Cashflow that works the way farming does.

Farming doesn’t run on a 9-to-5 cashflow cycle - and your finances shouldn’t either. Farmlands has partnered with Finance Now, who have designed a range of competitive finance packages. exclusively for shareholders, built around the seasonal rhythms and real demands of your farming or growing business.

Finance that's on your side. Not the bank's.

We're not a bank. We're your co-op. And that means our finance options — delivered through our partner Finance Now — are designed with one purpose: to help you manage cashflow, invest in your operation, and keep farming without the friction.

Whether you need flexibility to pay your inputs when you get paid from them, or a fixed-term loan to buy the machinery your business needs to grow, Finance Now has a solution built for how you actually farm.

Two products. One team. All for shareholders.

What Farm Fixed can fund

Asset purchases that grow your operation.

Your account. Your call. Keep it working.

Your Farmlands Account is built around your farm’s rhythm - but to keep it that way, we need to manage credit limits responsibly. Here’s everything you need to know, clearly.

Farmlands is required to comply with the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act 2003 (CCCFA) - New Zealand legislation that applies to all businesses extending credit to customers. That means we need to lend responsibly and make sure credit limits stay workable for everyone.

We began applying account limits to Card Partner purchases in late 2022. From 26 February 2024, those same rules apply to purchases made at all Farmlands retail stores.

No surprises. Just how it works.
