Publish Date March 4, 2020

At Fidelity Bank & Trust, we know agriculture is an essential part of the communities we serve and we are proud to be Iowa’s fourth largest leader in providing agricultural loans and services to our local farmers.

“Consistency is key. We have been able to reach this great achievement by consistently being able to provide customers with outstanding service and products that meet their financial needs,” says Terry W Harder, Vice President of Ag and Commercial Banking. “We are proud, excited and have no intention of slowing down.”

To assist farmers in keeping their operations running smoothly, we proudly provide a variety of loans including operating loans, livestock purchase loans, term loans for purchasing breeding stock and machinery, and more. Additionally, we facilitate first-time FSA direct loans, as well as work with the Farm Service Agency, a division of the USDA, and Iowa Ag Development Authority to help first-time farmers.

When you come to Fidelity Bank & Trust for an agricultural loan, expect to be walked through everything, step by step.

“We sit down and get to know our customers’ current operation needs and their future operation goals. We want to make sure we are a partner with that individual or company so we can not only grow with them, but also continue to provide the right services and products,” says Harder. “Plus, many of our lenders are equipped with a farming background, giving us a competitive advantage to help our customers with knowledge and experience you won’t find at big banks.”
