Eligibility Criteria
Our team will work hard to find a finance solution that works for you, however there are some existing lending criteria put in place by the lenders we work with which may affect your ability to get a loan approved.
The three key factors lenders look at as part of the approval process are:
- Your ability to repay the loan (how much you earn vs outgoings)
- Your credit rating or history (how well you’ve repaid loans in the past
- Security for the loan (what can be used to repay the loan if you can’t)
This is why we ask about your employment status, how many dependents you have, your eligibility to work in New Zealand etc.
Things that can prevent you being approved for finance include:
- Not being currently employed
- Not earning over a certain threshold
- Not being a permanent resident or approved to work long term in New Zealand
- Having a poor credit rating
- Having no security to offer against the loan
- Being under 18 years of age
If you have any questions on your eligibility please get in touch with our team and we can chat to you about your options.
