AgFAST Loan
Program
To help agricultural producers obtain the equipment they need quickly,
Texas AgFinance developed the AgFAST loan program. Under this program,
a decision on loans under $100,000 is typically made in less than 24
hours. The applicant completes a short loan
application form requiring minimal information, and a credit decision
can be returned in a matter of minutes or hours. In many cases, loan
funds are available the same day.
To qualify under the AgFAST loan program, equipment and vehicles should
be less than 10 years old and used primarily for agricultural or business
purposes.
For loans over $100,000, additional information may be required.
Loan Terms and Rates
- 3- to 7-year
terms are typical, depending on age and useful life of the equipment
- Monthly, quarterly,
semi-annual or annual payments to match borrower's cash-flow
- Fixed and variable
rates available
Leasing Services
Texas AgFinance customers benefit from strategic alliances between Texas
AgFinance and national leasing companies when they lease vehicles, tractors,
irrigation equipment or other products. Customers also may take advantage
of fleet discounts that the co-op's leasing partners receive. Those
discounts are passed on to our customers through the lease of a vehicle.
Leasing also offers tax advantages not available with the purchase and
depreciation of equipment.
Patronage Program
Patronage refunds are one of the many benefits of borrowing from Texas
AgFinance. As a cooperative, we follow the cooperative business principle
of refunding a portion of our annual earnings back to our stockholders
through direct patronage payments, reduced borrowing costs or competitive
interest rates.
