More Than a Career …A Way of Life
Located in Wichita, Kansas, U.S. AgBank, FCB (AgBank) is a $20+ Billion wholesale lending institution that secures funds by selling debt on the national and global markets. AgBank then loans these funds to 29 Farm Credit Associations who in turn make retail loans to farmers, ranchers and agribusinesses in Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah, southeastern Idaho, and the far western edge of Wyoming.

Many of our employees came to us because they have an agricultural background and desired to continue to be connected to agriculture. While AgBank is a wholesale bank, a career with us provides an opportunity to work with many people who have agricultural roots, and who share the strong values that are so much a part of rural America.
 

The 29 retail Farm Credit Associations that are our customers are an integral part of modern agriculture. Our interaction with them on a daily basis provides a connection to agriculture. These Associations hold a very strong market share of the total agricultural debt.

Many of the career opportunities at AgBank understandably require significant training and experience in fields beyond agriculture. As with any large financial institution, operating our business on a daily basis requires a unique mix of talented and skilled people. We understand the need to match an individual’s talent to the job, and work hard to place employees into jobs that will allow them to use their natural abilities, as well as their learned skills, to best position them for a long and successful career.

Farm Credit is Both National and Local

They also appreciate the benefits of borrowing from a local Farm Credit office where the employees know the local agriculture, are a part of the community, and understand the market conditions and opportunities.

The Borrowers are the Owners
The Farm Credit System is the only major agricultural lender that is owned by its borrowers. Its cooperative structure helps assure that reasonably priced credit will always be available. Farm Credit System Association member/stockholders elect the directors that guide their lending institutions and have a voice in the operation of their lender. Farm Credit retail associations own the wholesale funding banks, and elect the directors who oversee the operations of the provider of their funds and services.
