ACM gives primary producers financing deals with Farmers’ Finance Australia
Farmers’ Finance Australia will give clients access to a panel of banks, lenders, and private funders.
Antony Catalano's ACM has partnered with Flint on the launch of Farmers’ Finance Australia, working to provide primary producers with deals for financing property, agribusiness, equipment, and machinery.
Farmers’ Finance Australia will give clients access to a panel of banks, lenders, and private funders in Australia.
Lending specialist and co-founder of Flint, Christian Stevens, will lead as Farmers’ Finance Australia as CEO, and said: “I am excited to be working together with the ACM Agri team on something that will genuinely make a difference to so many farmers across the country.”
Stevens said lending in the agricultural finance market exceeded $120 billion, a figure that rises if you add the rural residential, commercial, and asset loans.
“Farmers’ Finance Australia will provide regional families, investors, and businesses with the best in-market finance solutions to help them grow. We will enable hard working Australians to unlock their farms' potential, while accessing savings on their existing facilities too,” Stevens said.
Finally, Stevens added that the team’s brokers have lodged more than $10 billion in loans to date and have over 100 years of broking experience.
“With the most banks and lenders available in the country, Farmers’ Finance Australia is the largest Agribusiness Brokerage in Australia.”

ACM managing director Tony Kendall said the joint venture was an intuitive fit for the ACM Agri division.
“ACM Agri puts farmers at the heart of everything we do and we understand that finance is a critical part of every farming business,” he said.
“Farmers’ Finance Australia enables ACM Agri to offer leading financial solutions and specialised expertise to the 78 per cent of farmers who turn to ACM Agri brands to keep them informed about their sector.“
ACM Agri will take Farmers’ Finance Australia to market with an integrated marketing campaign across print, digital, social media, and rural event platforms.
