Small Cash Loans NZ FAQs

Like any finance, small loans can be both good and bad depending on your situation. They can be an accessible source of finance for people not eligible for loans from banks or other lenders. But they also tend to come with higher interest rates, which makes them a more expensive option.

There is no set number of cash loans that you can have in New Zealand. However, if you have too many loans at once you may not meet the eligibility requirements of the lender. If you need extra cash but already have some cash loans, you could consider a debt consolidation loan to roll all other loans into one simple paymen

As a responsible lender, we need to review your application to ensure you are reasonably able to repay it. We aim to get this review and approval process completed as fast as possible – sometimes within the same hour that you apply.

We want our small loans to be accessible to anyone in NZ who needs one. We cannot offer guaranteed approval but with our simple lending and eligibility criteria, we are able to help a wide range of Kiwis. Even for people with bad credit!

A small personal loan can potentially help you to improve your credit rating. But it can also have a negative impact on your credit rating. As long as you manage your debt responsibly, for instance, by making payments on time, your credit score should improve over time. Learn more about how your credit score is calculated.
