Short-term finance

A Rural Bank Seasonal Overdraft gives you access to daily working capital to cover cash flow shortfalls or to finance short-term production costs.

Features of our Seasonal Overdraft facility

Includes all the features and benefits of a Seasonal Account, including a Visa Debit card, Internet and Phone Banking.

Minimum overdraft is $20,000.

Variable interest rate with interest calculated on daily balances and charged monthly.

You can use your land, stock, crop or wool as security.

No fixed or minimum repayments are required as long as the amount owing is below the agreed limit. This allows you to make repayments as you receive your farm proceeds.

We tailor our lending products to meet the repayment and cash flow requirements of your business. To find out more, including interest rates, arrange a meeting with one of our Relationship Managers.

Hear from one of our customers

Tom Ashby of North Ashrose Merino Stud, South Australia, is developing new technology to improve efficiency in sheep yards. We understand the value this will bring to the industry and are there to support him.

So, we’ve been breeding sheep for about 120 years.

My great grandfather started the stud.

In any family farming business, the bank is so important.

Angus is now fifth generation, he is very dedicated towards keeping the property going and you know the future is there for him.

This generation is really lucky because technology has come onto farms now.

I grew up getting the clip board and the piece of paper in the sheep yards and physically reading the ear tag and then actually trying to find that number and flicking over heaps of pages.

Now it’s just a scan with a wand and all the information is there for you.

We’re really lucky that the bank is so supportive of any technology in the future.

We’ve come up with a prototype, hand-held instant micron machine.

It’s in its early stages, but we believe that it’s going to be more efficient on farm to make genetic evaluation on a live animal.

You’re always trying to grow your business and if you’ve got the support of the bank, you can do that.
