Texas Farm Credit is an agricultural lending cooperative that specializes in rural financing. We provide competitive rates, flexible terms and personal service to farmers, ranchers, rural residents and agribusiness firms, from the Red River to the Rio Grande Valley. Established in 1933, Texas Farm Credit is a part of the nationwide Farm Credit System, which is the leader in financing agricultural production and rural real estate. Our mission is to serve the agricultural and rural community by being a reliable lending source in both good times and bad. As a cooperative, Texas Farm Credit is owned by borrowers just like you and governed by a board of directors who are farmers and ranchers, themselves. That means we always have your best interest in mind and never lose sight of what is important to you. And, your ownership of the co-op entitles you to share in our earnings through our patronage program.
We’re Texan Bank- a full-service commercial bank with a friendly neighborhood feel- led by people who’ve called the Houston area home for generations. With deep roots in our community, a deep knowledge of our industry, and a deep commitment to doing the right thing (the right way), we proudly partner with local businesses and neighbors alike to help them realize financial success. And as our name might suggest, we’re terribly persistent. Good old-fashioned banking, as we see it- a bank built to serve as the center of commerce by folks equally invested in the same community. WE’RE HERE TO HELP, AND WE’RE HERE TO STAY.
