ABA/Farmer Mac Alliance
An alliance built for growth
The alliance between Farmer Mac and Business Solutions, a subsidiary of the American Bankers Association (ABA), enables ABA-member banks to receive Farmer Mac I preferred pricing and other important benefits. Five “preferred rate” products receive discounted rates including Farmer Mac’s popular 10- and 15-year fixed rate products. Other discounted products available for ABA members are the 1-month ARM (Prime indexed), 7/1 ARM and 10/1 ARM.
ABA members also receive a streamlined approval process for becoming a Farmer Mac Seller along with customized learning tools, dedicated support through a special email account (ABABanker@farmermac.com) and the ”Alliance Alert” newsletter published quarterly exclusively for ABA members.
