Cash management evolution

We're evolving how certain money movement services are delivered, while keeping your Farm Credit Services of America (FCSAmerica) operating line of credit at the center of our relationship.

Spend less time managing cash and more time running your business

Managing cash has become a bigger part of running a farm or ranch. Whether it’s checking balances, planning for expenses, or deciding when to move money or borrow funds, routine financial decisions can take valuable time away from your operation.

That's why our money movement services are evolving: to make it easier for cash and borrowing to work together and simplify day-to-day money management.

By intentionally connecting banking capabilities with your operating line of credit, cash and borrowing can work together more seamlessly instead of requiring separate financial decisions. Through our partnership with First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO), we're bringing together complementary strengths that help reduce manual transfers, improve visibility into cash flow, and make working capital easier to manage.

Spend less time managing money and more time running your operation.

While these capabilities continue to evolve, one thing remains the same: your relationship with us. These enhancements are designed to build on the services you already value while making it easier to manage your operation.

Making better use of your working capital

One of the benefits you have long valued is the ability to manage cash and borrowing in a way that supports the day-to-day needs of your operation. As money movement services evolve, that advantage remains an important part of the experience.

Through the combination of your operating line of credit and FNBO banking services, you can keep cash and borrowing working together more effectively.

Evolving to better support your financial needs

The way agricultural operations manage money continues to evolve, along with customer expectations, banking capabilities, and security needs.

As operations grow more complex, with more transactions, accounts, and increasing fraud risks, you need tools that are more connected, efficient, and secure.

To better support the evolving way customers manage cash and borrowing, we've selected FNBO as our preferred provider for cash management and money movement services. Together, we bring complementary strengths to your operation; FCSAmerica continues to provide the financing expertise and relationship you rely on, while FNBO delivers banking capabilities that work alongside your operating line of credit. The result is a more connected approach to managing cash and borrowing that helps simplify routine financial decisions.


What becomes simpler?

Many of your routine cash management tasks can happen automatically, helping you spend less time:

  • Checking account balances throughout the day

  • Forecasting cash needs and transfer amounts

  • Deciding when to draw from your operating line of credit 

  • Determining when excess cash should be applied toward borrowing

Instead, you can focus on running your operation.

What this means for you

  • Eliminate time spent manually managing cash and borrowing balances 

  • Improve day-to-day efficiency

  • Support potential interest savings

  • Make more effective use of working capital

This isn't about introducing technology for technology's sake. It's about continuing to provide a convenient, efficient, and connected way to manage cash and borrowing.
