Questions About Our Loans?
Similar to SBA loans, loans guaranteed through the Farm Service Agency (FSA) allow us to make agricultural credit available to farmers who do not meet the normal underwriting criteria. FSA loans have the option of no down payment and offer lower rates and better terms. Farmers and ranchers submit an application with us, then CS Bank works directly with FSA to assist in the necessary paperwork for the guarantee.
CS Bank is proud to have three lenders who are apart of the Certified Lender Program. The purpose of the Certified Lender Program (CLP) is to minimize the time required for experienced lenders to obtain responses to requests for guarantee, permit maximum use of the lender's own forms, and permit the lender to certify compliance rather than provide supporting documentation. Lenders with a proven ability to process and service FSA guaranteed loans will be given greater flexibility.
What does this mean for you?
- Less paperwork to submit to FSA
- More flexibility to use your own forms and processes
- Approval of loan within 14 days - faster in most cases
- Increased servicing authority
