John Deere Credit Compania Financiera S.A. (Argentina)

John Deere Credit Compañía Financiera S.A., founded in 1999, is the captive financial subsidiary of John Deere in Argentina, dedicated to providing credit, leasing, and structured financing solutions for the purchase of agricultural, forestry, and construction equipment—both new and used. The company operates as a regulated financial entity under the oversight of the Central Bank of Argentina, offering financing to both end‑customers and the official dealer network, and supporting the sales of John Deere machinery through tailored loan structures and secured lending backed largely by pledges on financed equipment. Fitch‑affiliated FIX Ratings assigns high national‑scale ratings to the entity (AA / A1+ categories), citing strong shareholder support from John Deere, good asset‑quality indicators, and stable operational performance. The company periodically issues Negotiable Obligations (ONs) in the local capital market—including recent U.S. dollar–denominated issuances under the Frequent Issuer Regime—to fund its loan portfolio and support continued expansion of equipment financing across Argentina’s agricultural and construction sectors.
