First Citizen Agri Finance is delighted to announce an exciting new partnership with Major Equipment International Limited. The new partnership will assist Major Equipment customers by providing them with tailor-made finance solutions for their agricultural asset purchases.

The Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland (SBCI) appointed First Citizen Agri Finance as one of their On-Lenders in April 2016. First Citizen, in conjunction with the SBCI, has created a fund of €50m designed specifically for Irish agri SMEs and farmers enabling them to access finance for agricultural machinery.

Customers of Major Equipment will have access to these funds via hire purchase or lease facilities offered at competitive rates and attractive repayment terms subject to normal lending criteria being satisfied. Repayment terms of up to seven years are available depending on the age and type of asset. A minimum deposit of 10% will be required.

Commenting on the new partnership, sales director at First Citizen Gerry Hargadon said: “First Citizen Agri Finance and Major Equipment are committed to working closely together to ensure that Irish agri SMEs and farmers get the best value for money and that the financial products on offer are competitive, flexible and structured to suit the particular circumstances of each customer. We intend to provide a first class service to Major, its customers and its network of appointed agri dealers by ensuring that the application and decision process is straightforward and quick.”
