How are we supporting your needs?

Leveraging our partnership with Mastercard, seamlessly and securely pay off your equipment loan as you service farmers

The Hello Tractor PAYG product—with embedded IoT—is built on transparency. We remotely track work  and immobilize assets for non-payment, reducing overall risk and diversion of payments.

IoT-enabled tractors allow us to remotely monitor asset health, fuel, and functionality. This helps reduce operational costs of equipment and increased reliability and asset salvage value.

Data Centric

Data supports everything from credit scoring to market intelligence for underwriting, risk management, and loan repayment structures that fit agricultures seasonality and equipment cashflows.

    • 2-2.5x average annual debt service minimum required; This will not be calculated on a daily basis due to the difference in usage across borrowers as routes are unique and demand along route varies.
