Mergers, Name Changes, and Other Corporate Activity

FCA is responsible for issuing corporate charters to all Farm Credit System institutions. Therefore, when institutions merge, change their names, and make other corporate changes, they must have these actions approved through FCA.

Note: FCA views an Agricultural Credit Association (ACA) and its Production Credit Association (PCA) and Federal Land Credit Association (FLCA) subsidiaries as a single entity for most regulatory purposes.

Pending Merger Application
As of April 1, 2012, one merger application is pending consideration or action by the FCA Board. The proposed merger involves two ACAs affiliated with AgFirst Farm Credit Bank.
