A bank, credit union, or savings association chartered by the state or federal government, a subdivision of the Farm Credit System (Agri Bank), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or an insurance company, fund, or other financial institution doing business as an agricultural lender within the state may apply to the RFA for certification as an approved lender.
Upon a lender's demonstration of its ability to originate and service agricultural loans, the RFA shall designate it as an approved lender for purposes of RFA programs.
Before offering stock loans to the RFA for participation, each approved lender must enter into an RFA master participation agreement. The agreement shall specify the relationship between the parties and the terms and conditions of stock loans to be made by the lender under the value-added stock loan participation program and offered to the RFA for participation.
