The process

It can be this simple.

Three steps, start to finish. Most people are done with their part in under five minutes.

01

Tell us about you

One short application, about two minutes. We ask the basics: who you are, the car and loan you're after, and your income. Then one soft credit check, which doesn't show to other lenders and doesn't touch your score.

  • About two minutes
  • One soft credit check
  • No impact on your score
02

We refer you to our lender panel

We don't just send you to one place and hope. We pass your details to our panel of approved New Zealand lenders, the ones most likely to say yes to your situation, at a fair rate, with no dealer markup added on top.

  • Approved NZ lenders only
  • Matched to your situation
  • No dealer markup
03

You get a fair rate, explained

A real person calls you back, usually the same day, and walks you through your options in plain English. No pressure, no jargon, no obligation. You decide, in your own time.

  • Usually the same day
  • Plain English, no jargon
  • No obligation, ever

What you'll need

Having these handy makes the whole thing quicker. If you're missing something, start anyway and we'll help you sort it.

  • A NZ driver licence or photo ID
  • Proof of income: payslips, or three months of bank statements
  • Your current address
  • The car details, if you've already found one

Common questions

Straight answers.

Does it cost me anything?

No. Fair Finance is free to use. We're paid a referral fee by our lender partners only when a loan you apply for is settled, and that fee never changes your rate.

Will applying hurt my credit score?

No. We run one soft credit check across our whole panel. It doesn't show to other lenders and it doesn't affect your score, unlike applying directly at several lenders, which stacks up hard checks.

Do you guarantee I'll be approved?

No, and anyone who does isn't being straight with you. We're not a lender. We match you to the lenders most likely to give you a fair go, but each one assesses your application under its own criteria.
