Keeping pace with today's farms and agri-businesses

Scotiabank has been providing financial services to Canadian farms and agri-businesses for more than 185 years.

But one thing remains constant – our commitment to serve those that feed our nation. Our Agricultural Specialists come from agriculture and farming backgrounds to better understand & serve your business. 

We don't treat farming just like any other business. Because it really isn't.

  • Being a leading supplier of financial services to agriculture in Canada and increasingly to the global agricultural market
  • Our client base spans Small Business, Commercial and Corporate segments
  • Offering ease and convenience of practical financial solutions and products designed for agricultural needs
  • Providing dependable support for industry and clients
  • Providing commitment to our clients' futures, including succession planning for the next generation
  • Being highly flexible
  • Offering comprehensive advice for all financial needs – business and personal
  • Dedicated Agriculture sales and credit teams
  • Ability to assess your full financial picture
