Compeer Financial

Compeer Financial is a member-owned Farm Credit cooperative lending to agriculture and rural communities in Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin. It provides loans, leases, risk management and other financial services to operations of every size, from part-time farms and rural homes to large agribusinesses and livestock operations.

Lending covers farm real estate and operating credit, equipment and facility financing, agribusiness lending including food processing and logistics, rural home mortgages and rural community financing, plus dedicated programs for young and beginning farmers. Around the credit sits a set of ag business services: farm and equipment appraisal, cash management with remote deposit and ACH payments, farm accounting, recordkeeping and payroll, year-round tax planning and preparation, crop, livestock, dairy, life and disability insurance, and transition and succession planning.

The cooperative serves 144 counties across the three states with upwards of 1,500 team members and more than 80,000 member-owners, and reports $36.7 billion in total assets. Its certified appraisers work to USPAP using the Uniform Agriculture Appraisal Report format, and the appraisal team includes designated Accredited Rural Appraisers and Accredited Senior Appraisers. The association operates under NMLS #619731.

Rates are not published, and lending, appraisal and tax work are delivered through local offices located with the office locator on the site. The homepage also carries placeholder contact details alongside the real client services number, 844-426-6733, so the office locator and that toll-free line are the reliable routes in.
