Ruralco was formed on 31 October 1995 following the decision by the board of Combined Rural Traders and members of the National Agrimerchandising Network to establish a national agrimerchandising group.
In 2000, Ruralco merged with Queensland based fertiliser manufacturer, Grow Force, and in 2003 Ruralco changed its name to Ruralco Holdings Limited.
A series of strategic acquisitions has seen the group's original business platform expand significantly from its original rural merchandise base. More than forty businesses now operate within the group providing a wide range of specialist services that includes real estate, wool and livestock, grain marketing, stock feed, seed and grain, irrigation, water trading, risk management, insurance and finance.
Ruralco Finance Pty Ltd was established in 2009 to provide Ruralco Holdings Limited's clients with a full suite of financial services.
The dedicated Ruralco Finance team are specialists in agri and commercial business finance lending. They have a great understanding of the needs of rural and regional Australia and appreciate how important it is to their clients to have a streamlined finance facility that helps them take advantage of business opportunities as they arise.
The 2010 launch of the unique Ruralco Seasonal Finance Card, co-branded with the National Australia Bank, extended the scope of the finance options available through Ruralco Finance.
