Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ Capital and AgVend have deepened their collaboration to make input financing programs backed by Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ Capital digitally available within AgVend platforms. This integration ensures a seamless experience for wholesale customers using AgVend, giving their farmer-customers access to financing tools side-by-side other key digital services.
For ag retailers using AgVend-built platforms in their day-to-day processes, this expansion enables their input financing program to be visible and manageable within the same system. While Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ Capital underwrites and supports the financing, the experience can be fully branded for the retailer, preserving the local brand while strengthening the technical backbone.
“This offering demonstrates how Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ Capital is evolving to meet our customers where they are digitally and operationally,” said Steve Englund, senior director, Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ Capital. “We’re simplifying the process and enabling a cleaner, more consistent experience. We see this as the building block for more features to come with AgVend.”
The integration supports more than just customer visibility. It gives retailers a streamlined way to manage financing enrollment, view a farmer-customer’s current loan position, segment customers with connected balances and track utilization, all within systems they already rely on. 
Bringing together trusted local service, integrated financing and seamless digital access, the integration makes it easier for ag retailers and their customers to manage their operation from a single, connected experience.
“Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ is bringing together product, technology and services to deliver integrated, customer-focused solutions,” said Mark Biedenfeld, vice president of customer success at Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥. “Our collaboration with AgVend gives ag retailers access to financing tools within the platform they already use, simplifying the experience for both ag retailers and the producers they serve.”
The solution is now available to any wholesale customer using AgVend with a Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ Capital financing program in place. Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ and AgVend teams are coordinating directly with each participating customer to support implementation, customization and customer outreach.
