What We Do

At Land Bank, our sole objective is to serve South African commercial and emerging agriculture by bringing specially designed financial services within the reach of farmers across the nation. These services enable farmers to finance land, equipment, improve assets and obtain production credit. Today, the Bank is a true South African development finance institution that strives to serve all farmers equally.

As a responsible lender and to ensure longevity as an institution, Land Bank is committed to sound environmental practices both internally and with our clients. With every loan dispensed and every farming enterprise initiated, we have to make sure that we are not only looking after our clients, but ensuring that their agricultural practices do not harm the environment but add value and are sustainable in the long term.​
