General information
What our customers are saying
Martin Skurr
South Canterbury
"I wasn't really planning on getting finance, but everything just seemed to fall into place this
year.
I started exploring different options, and Heartland's Open for Livestock product seemed to be
the ideal solution."
Peter Mehrtens
Auckland
"My brother Donald and I have been in a dairy grazing partnership for close to 20 years.
This year, we also decided to take on 350 yearling bulls to increase farm cashflow, and we were
recommended Heartland Bank."
Leen Dekker
Canterbury
"My wife and I enjoy finishing lambs as a side business, and one year we decided to buy more
lambs than usual.
When we saw the ad for Heartland's Open for Livestock loan, we decided to go for it."
