We are open to lending money to people with a bad credit history if they have a suitable guarantor. We understand that emergencies don’t wait for perfect credit scores. We are a responsible loan provider, and we ask for security or collateral. We also do credit checks to ensure you can afford the monthly repayment, subject to the responsible lending code of New Zealand.

You’ll need proof of identity, proof of address, proof of income, and details about the security or collateral you’re offering. Having these documents ready can speed up your emergency loan approval process.

 While emergency loans are designed for urgent, unexpected expenses, you can use them for any legitimate emergency situation. However, we encourage responsible borrowing and may ask about the nature of your emergency to ensure the loan is appropriate for your situation.

The NZ Responsible Lending Law, enacted through the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act (CCCFA), helps borrowers by ensuring banks and private lenders act responsibly, even in emergency situations. This includes informing the borrower of the terms of their loan, including the rate of interest, terms, and other fees. Lenders are also required to make sure that borrowers can afford the loan repayments, and that it won’t cause them more financial hardship in the future, which is especially important during already stressful emergency situations.
