Tailor-made Development Financing Solutions To Meet Your Needs
At Land Bank, we recognise that farmers operate under a unique set of economic requirements. That is why we offer a more innovative approach to financing to meet the needs of a far more diversified marketplace. Unique products have been developed and world-class service delivery that takes place at the point of need are now pillars of the institution.

To these new farmers, facing the challenges of establishing sustainable agri-businesses, Land Bank continues to offer a commercial lifeline through appropriately designed financial products that facilitate personal and commercial viability in a sector that is vital to the sustainability of South Africa and its people.
