Looking for ways to streamline the managing of your farm accounts? Ruralco sub account cards could be the solution you’re looking for. Sub accounts can be created for staff and family, keeping their transactions and statements separate from the primary card holder, while still having access to all of the purchase, discount and service opportunities the Ruralco Card provides. Sub account cards are only available to ATS members, and ultimate responsibility for non-payment rests with the primary account holder.

The Ruralco Instore Days are almost here again, and as usual we will be bringing you fantastic promotions, innovations and specials, all designed to keep you up with the play – without breaking the bank. This will be the 24th Instore Days and while the size and scope of this two-day event is a far cry from its small beginnings, its original intent to inform and provide great deals has remained the same. This year the event will be held on the 5th and 6th of July and Ruralco CEO Rob Sharkie says “cardholders look forward to the event so they can take advantage of exclusive discounts, negotiated on their behalf, specifically for Instore Days”. Nowadays these specials can be accessed by coming into one of our three rural supplies stores (Ashburton, Methven or Rakaia), by phoning a member of our friendly Customer Services team, or by visiting us online. But the event isn’t only about specials and technical innovations. Ruralco Instore Days also creates a fantastic opportunity for farmers to come together and network with other farmers, family and friends. “Farming can be a solitary and sometimes isolated vocation for some, and its important farmers take the time to come together with other like-minded folk. Taking care of ourselves both physically and mentally is important and events such as Instore Days are a great way to take a break and enjoy a change of scenery” says Rob, “and make sure you pop in for lunch as well” with lunch provided for cardholders on both days.
