“Can a Farm Credit cooperative distribute agricultural lending at scale by embedding credit products into digital and retail partner channels via an Agri-Access embedded finance platform?”
Compeer Financial was formed in 2017 through the merger of three Farm Credit cooperatives and has operated primarily as an agricultural lender across Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

This marks a meaningful pivot from a traditional cooperative lender toward becoming an embedded agricultural finance provider.
