What is the Farmlands Card?
Being a shareholder and having a shareholding account with Farmlands means you’ll be given a Farmlands Card. It’s a convenient way to purchase goods and services at over 7,000 Card Partner locations throughout New Zealand. While there is a credit limit on the Card, the Card itself is not a credit card, and the expectation is that you will pay your account in full each month. Your Account is to be paid on the 20th of each month. You’ll also benefit from the Farmlands Card App, packed with useful features.
How much does it cost?
To become a shareholder there is a one-off requirement for you to purchase 500 shares, worth $1 each. This can either be added to your first statement and paid in one transaction of $500 or paid in four instalments, one of $200 then three of $100.
There is also an annual fee of $65.00 + GST per Card, attached to each Account and this is charged to your Account at the beginning of each calendar year. For example, the annual fee for an Account with two Cards will be $130 + GST and for an Account with five Cards the fee will be $325 + GST.
For each new Card issued after the billing date an adjusted annual fee (plus GST) will be charged pro-rated to the number of months remaining until the next billing date i.e. the fee calculation for the remaining months = (Annual fee/12) x number of months remaining until the next billing date. For example, if a new card is issued in June, you will be charged an annual fee for the remaining seven months until the next annual billing date in February.

Can I fully or partially surrender my Farmlands shares?
Any shareholder can make a request to surrender their shares (the acceptance of which is at the Board's discretion) if they cease to be a 'transacting' shareholder. Shares can also be surrendered by a shareholder’s estate if they pass away, or they may also be transferred to other people or entities under certain circumstances. Farmlands Rules do not provide a mechanism for the partial surrender of Farmlands shares.
