More Than 265 Million Reasons Why It Pays to Do Business with Capital Farm Credit
Capital Farm Credit
At a time when many reports coming from the financial world are delivering bad news, there is one lender that is still doing well —and, more importantly, is sharing its success with its borrowers. Capital Farm Credit recently returned $97.2 million to its borrowers —$29.4 million in cash and another $67.8 million allocated for possible future distribution —through the lending cooperative’s patronage program. More than $265 million has been returned to Capital Farm Credit customer-stockholders since 1997. As the state ’s largest rural lending cooperative, Capital Farm Credit is owned by its customers, who in turn, share in the co-op ’s financial success. Patronage payments help lower the effective interest rate paid by customers, and prove why it pays to do business with a cooperative like Capital Farm Credit.Call Capital Farm Credit toll free at 1-877-944-5500 to find the nearest office and learn how their experts can assist with your rural financing needs.
