  • Allows for better cash management with the ability to defer payments until income is received
  • Allows for alternative payment arrangements  without incurring penalties
  • Ensures that you retain your rebates and Choices Points for prompt payment and avoids any default interest charges on your CRT account. 

Special Terms Now Available

Please contact your local farm centre or technical field officer for special deals on certain products which may include interest free or extended payment terms. 

How does it work? 

If you pay your CRT account by internet banking or cheque:
Just pay what you want and, as long as it’s within your Creditline limit, the rest will go to your Creditline account for payment by direct debit in three months time.

If you pay your CRT account by direct debit:
When you receive your CRT statement, all you have to do is call the customer centre on 0800 278 583 or email us at creditline@crt.co.nz prior to the 18th. Tell us how much you’d like to pay for the month and, as long as it’s within your Creditline limit, the rest will go to  Creditline for payment by direct debit in three months’ time.

Free Reminder Service
If you elect this service we will send you a text and/or an email reminder message around the 15th of every month.  To use your Creditline simply reply and we’ll do the rest.

At Mates Rates
We’re here to help, so we’ve worked out a suitable market competitive interest rate of only 1% per month for your Creditline. This is charged monthly to your CRT account on the total amount you have drawn down on your Creditline.

Rebates
Rebates are applied at a rate of 15% of monthly interest paid; this provides a true interest rate of 0.85% per month (10.20% per annum).  So for every dollar of interest that you pay, we’ll give you 15 cents back!

Repayments
The balance transferred to your Creditline will be taken by direct debit from your bank account three months after the date you transfer the balance to the facility. Creditline accounts are always payable on the 24th of the month.
