Ritchie Bros. Financial Services funds US$1+ billion in equipment and vehicle purchases in 2022

For the first time in its 11-year history, Ritchie Bros. Financial Services surpassed US$1 billion in annual funded volume, helping tens of thousands of customers around the world purchase used equipment, vehicles, and other industrial assets in 2022.

"Ritchie Bros. Financial Services continues to drive industry-leading customer experience with our innovative, flexible financing and leasing solutions, combined with a fast and efficient approval process," said Chris Quinn, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Ritchie Bros. Financial Services. "In 2022, more than half of our funded volume came from repeat customers. At the same time, we are attracting new customers every single day. Last year, we also saw approval rates above 80%, which is a new record, and the percentage of transactions funded on the Ritchie Bros. marketplace increased by 15%, helping facilitate more transactions for buyers and create better pricing for sellers."

Ritchie Bros. Financial Services offers several different solutions to its customers, including PurchaseFlex Financing, which enables customers to get pre-approved for financing for any type of equipment, regardless of brand or asset type. This is unique to RBFS, as most traditional lenders require exact equipment details prior to approval, which limits your options on auction day. This increased flexibility, along with the ease and speed of approvals, has made RBFS a preferred choice for customers acquiring used equipment. PurchaseFlex Financing also offers $0 down and 90- or 120-day payment deferment options

How Did This Happen… Late Night Disaster!!

Video: How Did This Happen… Late Night Disaster!!

We started the day with some spraying ahead of the corn planter, then we transitioned over to the bean planter. While we were running the bean planter, the corn planter was hard at work all day. After days of grinding, we finally sealed the deal and finished up the very last of our corn planting!

Everything was running flawlessly until late into the night. Just as we were wrapping up, disaster struck—a massive flat tire on the sprayer… We were able to get the sprayer off the road safely and into the field. What a day!

My name is Michael Wendling, and I am proud to be a 6th-generation farmer carrying forward a family legacy that began in 1879 here in East Central Illinois.

Today, our operation focuses on raising food-grade corn for Frito-Lay and also soybeans. While the tools and technology have evolved, our core values remain the same: hard work, integrity, and a deep respect for the land we steward. Thank you for following along and supporting the journey.
