Frequently asked questions

We’re happy to help you choose the right plan. Check out our FAQs for answers to the most common questions.

  • No, no additional real estate or machinery needs to be pledged. The primary security is the NPA direct subsidy payments themselves.

  • Yes, we finance both new and used machinery and equipment (tractors, combines, implements, dryers, etc.). The key requirement is that the equipment is in good working condition and helps boost your farm's efficiency.

  • We evaluate each situation individually. If you have other assets that are not pledged to another bank or utilize state or EU guarantee schemes, the down payment requirement can be reduced or structured through alternative means.

  • We aim to keep the process as simple as possible. Typically, we request financial statements from the last 1–2 years, NPA application or declared crop data, and bank account statements.

  • Yes, we fully understand that your primary income is generated after the harvest or upon receiving subsidy payments. We offer flexible repayment schedules tailored to your farm's cash flow, for example, making principal payments annually or quarterly rather than monthly.

  • You don't have to wait for the NPA to transfer funds to your account, you can receive up to 90% of your projected subsidy amount now and use it for your farm's operations. The loan is automatically repaid once the NPA transfers the subsidies to your SME Bank account.
