Evolving with Purpose

Over the past several years, Farm Credit East has been evolving our business to provide more value to customers. Luckily, change isn’t new for us. Since our formation three decades ago, the cooperative has sustained market shifts and significant advancements in technology, all while continuing to grow the cooperative and return value to customers.

We’ve developed a regional service approach, while also aligning dedicated teams to support our financial services and credit delivery. This allows us to provide specialized, consistent, faster service. It also grants us greater access to talent, which is a direct benefit to customer businesses.

We’ve significantly increased our technology investment as we continue to evolve through automation and artificial intelligence. These reinvestments allow us to stay competitive, meet regulatory expectations and better serve customer needs.

Benefits of Cooperative Ownership

We hope you’ve enjoyed increased patronage (plus a bonus patronage the past two years) resulting from our strong business results. This is a direct result of how we’re evolving your cooperative.

You can expect more of those perks as we move Farm Credit East forward. We are a cooperative after all, so our success is your success.

Evolving for the Future

Our latest issue of Financial Partner aims to keep our cooperative owners informed about where we’re heading. As you read about our vision for the future, remember that just as we’ve proven in the past, each decision is made with the customer at the forefront and intends to bring more value to you and your business.

We’re moving forward with purpose. And while we’re evolving how we do business, we remain grounded in what matters most: Our roots in agriculture, our commitment to customer-owners, and our focus on long-term strength.

Our history proves that we've seen large periods of change over the past three decades and we've come out better than when we started. Farm Credit East has confidence this period will be no different. Thank you for trusting us to be your partner in what’s next.
