Rates and fees
Swoosh Finance is all about simple, easy finance. That’s why we’re upfront about our rates and fees. You know what you are dealing with before you make any decisions.
Interest is calculated daily, based on the outstanding balance, and is applied monthly to your account. Our small bad credit loans have fixed interest rates, so you know exactly how much you’ll be paying for the entire loan term.
If a scheduled payment is returned unpaid, we may issue a $40.00 debit dishonour fee. This fee is not subject to interest, though you’ll continue to pay the usual interest charges as described.
| Loan amount | $2,100 – $5,000 |
| Fees: |
|
| Annual Interest | 48% |
| Term length | 12 Months |
|
Debit dishonour fee (if a scheduled payment is returned unpaid) | $40 debit dishonour fee may be issued if a scheduled payment is missed or returned unpaid |
| Repayment options | Weekly, fortnightly or monthly (based on your paydays) |
Keep in mind that you may incur additional fees each time you miss a payment. As a result, this may also affect the length of your loan.

Check eligibility

If you are applying for one of our small cash loans ($2,100-$5,000) then you do not need to have a good credit score to apply. We give everyone a fair go and assess your current financial situation.
Our loans are based on your current situation, not your past credit reports, which is why we can offer finance to people with bad or poor credit in NZ.
We offer our online loans after evaluating current bank statements, assessing whether you have the ability to repay the loan now, not some time in the past. This way we are able to offer a second chance to people who have been affected by their credit history.
Apply online now or check out our same days loans to get money ASAP.
