Quick, easy cash loans in NZ

We look beyond your credit rating and prefer to also look at the security you have as well as your income. If your credit score isn't perfect, there's still a possibility you can still borrow money from Alternate Finance assuming you meet our criteria and we're lending in accordance with the responsible lending code.

We make it easy with flexible repayments and terms to suit your situation. We give you better interest rates with reasonable terms and conditions. Why pay more through dealer finance?

An alternative to the banks

Alternate Finance is a Christchurch finance company that lends across New Zealand. If you're thinking about consolidating debt, it only helps if the new loan costs less in total than the debts it replaces, so compare the total cost over the full term, not just the repayment. We'll look at what you can afford to repay, and once your rate is set, it's fixed for the term of your loan.

Our rates and fees

Our interest rates range from 9.95% to 26.98% p.a., depending on your circumstances, credit history, security and loan amount, and once set your rate is fixed for the term of your loan. An establishment fee applies to every approved loan, from $135 to $995 depending on the loan amount. A monthly administration fee of $10, plus $5 for each additional borrower, is included in your instalments. Other fees may apply. Full details, including early repayment and default charges, are on our rates and fees page.
