We were founded in 1898 by farmers looking to support each other’s businesses and give rural communities access to fair financing.
Now we’re one of the world’s largest rural lenders but we remain true to our core mission: to create value for our clients, employees and the rural communities where we work.
Our hearts have been with rural communities through drought, fire and Covid-19. But our support for our clients has never wavered, that’s what our Regional Managers love about working for a meaningful co-operative.

Our focus is on food and agribusiness, pure and simple. Our strength is built upon the commitment and smarts of our people. We believe in 'old fashioned' personal service and have a deep knowledge of agribusiness right across the value chain, which gives you a significant competitive advantage. And with many of our rural managers being from the land, they don’t just understand farming, they live and breathe it.
All up we have 400 rural specialists in 61 branches across Australia with a wealth of local, on-farm and of course banking knowledge.
To add to this, we provide access to a host of specialists whose expertise ranges from succession planning and sustainable farm systems through to commodity price and foreign exchange risk management, along with 90 international food and agribusiness analysts; and a global network of millions of farming clients in 38 countries.
So as our client, you have a great source of knowledge to tap into. This can help you to make better business decisions, and foster new business-to-business opportunities in other countries and along the supply chain.
When you save with Rabobank, not only do you grow your savings, you also help Aussie farmers grow. That’s because money you deposit in your online savings accounts goes to fund Aussie farmers and help bring food to our tables. Now that’s something to feel good about.
