What's good about the Homeowners Loan?
Zero fees
Yes! Zero. Nada. Zilch.
(Except if you default. Then there's fees.*)
Interest-only payments
Interest-only payments at 9.75%*. We call that the cherry on top.
Borrow up to $70k
You'll soon have up to $70k* in your pocket so you can get started on your project.
Applying is fast, secure and 100% online. It doesn't get much easier.
1. Complete our online application
Apply for anything between $1k and $20k unsecured or up to $70k secured. Just make sure you've got your NZ drivers license or NZ passport handy.
2. We drop the money into your account
Provided everything stacks up, the money will appear in your account within a couple of days, depending how quickly we get the info we need.
3. Now get your project underway
Now you've got the funds, the fun begins. Start turning those ideas into reality.
So many repayment options
- After the first year of interest-only repayments*, our mortgage brokers can arrange for the remainder of the loan to be absorbed into the mortgage (subject to bank criteria). Otherwise, you can pay it off over 2-7 years.
- You also have the option to pay it all off in full, whenever you like without any early repayment fees. That's right - you call the shots.
Our interest rates
| Term | Rate |
|---|---|
| 1 year interest-only | 9.75% p.a. |
| 2 - 3 years | 9.85%. p.a. |
| 5 - 7 years | 9.95% p.a. |
Get down to the nitty gritty
*If you or a guarantor default on your obligation, you may be obliged to pay costs and expenses for enforcement. Rates shown are based on current rates. Rates are subject to change. Affordability, responsible lending and credit criteria apply. Subject to available funding.If your loan falls into arrears, a default interest rate of 5% p.a. will be added to your fixed interest rate and remain in place until your loan is back on track and out of arrears. Example: A borrowed amount of $10,000 over 1-year interest-only would result in repayments of $83 per month at 9.75% p.a. (not risk graded). If a payment is missed or a loan is in arrears for a period of time, default interest may apply. Check out our fees page.
