Personal Loan FAQ

If you are over the age of 18 (up to the age of 21 you may require a guarantor), a permanent resident of New Zealand, earn a regular income, and can demonstrate the ability to repay the loan, you may qualify for a personal loan.

We offer loans from $1,000 to $100,000 on a personal loan in New Zealand. The amount we lend does depend on the security offered for the loan. The more security offered the better chance we will be able to lend the amount you require. We will also need to check your affordability and credit profile.

Approval time depends on some variables:

  • How much information you provide, the more information you provide the quicker we will be able to give you an answer.
  • Larger loans tend to take a little extra time
  • Loans with property involved can also take a little longer to get approved

In saying that we do endeavour to give a same day answer on all applications received.

Yes, you can make extra repayments; or you can increase your minimum repayment to help pay your loan off earlier. We do charge a small early settlement fee of $75.

Applying at multiple finance companies will no longer affect your credit rating in New Zealand. Since October 1st 2019 every credit check done by a finance company is listed as a quote with Equifax, Centrix or Illion and will only affect your credit rating should you accept the loan offer.
