Patronage Program

Compeer Financial is committed to providing a patronage program to member-owners.

As a cooperative, returning a portion of our earnings is an important component of our business model. The Compeer Financial Board of Directors believes a strong patronage program creates value for all member-owners and it’s in the best interest of our member-owners to pay back a portion of our earnings.

• As a cooperative with member-owners, our capital structure relies greatly on equity accumulated through earnings.
• The Compeer Financial Board of Directors designed a patronage program to balance the needs of the organization with providing an appropriate return of the equity to those who utilize the cooperative. The Board evaluates the year’s financial status while keeping an eye to the future, ensuring that the organization stays financially stable through prosperous and challenging economic cycles.

Compeer Financial’s patronage dividends create additional value for our member-owners and provides additional areas for the organization to effectively utilize member-owners’ capital.

Overall, the patronage program allows Compeer Financial to reward our member-owners for trusting us with their business. Additionally, the dollars allow Compeer member-owners to reinvest into their farms and businesses, directly impacting local and state economies. It’s another way we support rural America.

Being a member-owner pays.
