FAQ

Car loans - the details
Being better informed makes for better decisions. Have a question or two? Check out these helpful FAQs or get in touch with the team.

Can I pay off my car loan early?

Usually yes. Some lenders charge early-repayment or break fees. Make sure you know any costs upfront so you can decide if early payoff stacks up.

How much can I borrow to buy a car?

That depends on your income, expenses, credit profile, and the vehicle. Indicatively, loans range from $3,000 to $250,000+. Apply and we’ll confirm a personalised amount and repayments (subject to approval).

Will applying affect my credit score?

Starting your application with us uses a soft check - no impact. A full credit check only happens when a chosen lender proceeds with assessment.

Do I need a deposit?

Not always. Zero-deposit options may be available depending on your profile and the vehicle. Repayments and interest may be higher without a deposit. Responsible-lending checks apply.

How fast is approval and payout?

Often same-day approval is possible. If documents are ready and verified, payout can be within 24 hours. Timing varies by circumstances.

What documents will I need?

NZ photo ID, proof of address, income evidence (recent payslips or bank statements), and vehicle details. Self-employed applicants may be asked for IRD summaries or financial statements.

Approval is subject to lending criteria and an affordability assessment. Terms and conditions apply.

*Fixed interest rates for vehicle loans range from 7.95% p.a. to a maximum of 29.95% p.a. on a minimum 12 month to a maximum 60-month loan term. Fixed interest rates for personal loans range from 9.95% p.a. to a maximum of 29.95% p.a. on a minimum 12 month to a maximum 60-month loan term. The actual interest rate charged to you will depend on your circumstances, the type of lending required, the security provided, and is determined by the lender. 

Fees apply, including an establishment fee of up to $350 and an introducer fee of up to $995. Also, lenders may charge a PPSR fee of between $0 and $14. For example: On a loan of $10,000 over 24 months at 9.95% p.a. with Establishment and Introducer fees totalling $495 and a PPSR Fee of $7.39, the total amount to repay is $11,627 which is 24 monthly payments of $485. Those amounts don’t include ongoing fees, such as Service Fees, charged by the lender. You can find full fee information in the loan contract. We recommend that you check the fees before accepting the loan offer. See more about lender fees here.

Approval is subject to meeting lending criteria, and affordability test applies. Our lender will independently assess whether you are eligible for a loan.
