Lending criteria, terms, conditions and fees apply.

  2. We’ll confirm your details and loan structure, conduct any required checks and request any supporting documents.
  3. Find the stock you want to purchase and send us the invoice. Step
  4. We’ll pay the seller directly, and you’ll receive the stock.

Got questions?

Our interest rates are based on your individual circumstances. This will range from 11.99% p.a. to 12.95% p.a.
Your livestock invoice can be sent to [email protected].
The amount of time it takes to set up your loan depends on how soon we receive your documentation back. Once your documentation has been received, we’ll be in touch to confirm next steps.

No, the online application is one part of the process designed to reduce the amount of paperwork you need to fill out.

When you apply online, a rural relationship manager will call you to talk through your options including our fees, interest rate and documentation needed.

If your application is approved you will receive a loan document that, once you accept and sign, will finalise your application.

You will not incur any fees until we pay your first livestock invoice.
