Since day one, we have been there for farmers.
Providing credit terms on sales was part of John Deere almost from the very beginning on an informal basis, whenever John Deere provided his customers with the opportunity to pay their ploughs over a term.
This credit structure was formalised in 1931 when John Deere began accepting farmer credit notes and formal extension of credit payment terms during The Great Depression to assist farmers through difficult times. This move strengthened loyalty for generations and reflected John Deere’s commitment to the people linked to the land.
It was always his heart to understand farmers' cashflows, and today, it is our purpose to continue his legacy. Officially established as the John Deere Credit Company in 1958, John Deere Financial has supported farmers across 53 countries with financial solutions to keep them running for decades.
For generations, we have gained knowledge and enabled our customers to succeed by ensuring your financing works as hard and reliably for you as your equipment.
Therefore, we know that nobody should have to do this alone. We are in it with you, and we'll be here for you in good times and bad. Your success is our sole focus; your business is why we are in business. When you succeed, we succeed.
Over the years, we've come to understand and appreciate what you need.
