Why borrow from us?

No matter the situation, if you find yourself short on cash and need a quick, convenient, and reliable solution to get you through, our Personal Loans can help.

We help thousands of Kiwis with Personal Loans every week. We’re flexible, we work fast, and are upfront about our costs and loan terms – which is what our customers want.

Whatever your need might be, our friendly team will help give you the information you need so you can make the decision that is right for you.

Is available from $500 – $5,000 repaid over 3 – 24 months

We are a responsible lender

Whatever your need might be, our friendly team will help give you the information you need so you can make a decision on what is right for you.

We’re here to help make sure that your Personal Loan is right for you. We look closely at the information you provide as well as enquire about why you need the loan, how much you need, and if you have other debt. You’ll need to provide proof of ID, proof of address, and proof of your income and expenses.

We keep the loan and payments nice and clear by explaining exactly what you will pay and by when.

Cash Converters personal loans are unsecured. The interest rate is fixed for the life of the loan and repayments can be made weekly, fortnightly, or monthly depending on your pay cycle.

Our model works to make sure you have capacity to repay your loan.

Cost of borrowing

Our Cash Converters Personal Loan has an Annual Interest Rate (AIR) of 49.95%. Interest rates are fixed for the term of the loan. Interest is calculated daily and applied monthly to the outstanding loan balance.

This is to process, assess, and establish your loan and will only be charged if your loan is approved.
$145 for loans between $500 – $1,400 and $195 for loans above $1,500.

Other Fees

$4 weekly account keeping fee
This is towards the ongoing administration costs for your loan.

Frequently asked questions about our Personal Loans

Please provide proof of ID, proof of address, your email and phone contact details. We ask you to show us your income and expenses via a secure link which provides us with details of your bank statements.

You sure can. We welcome applications from everyone!

Yes, you can. We will need to sight your passport and work visa. The term of any loan cannot exceed the term of your visa.

No, we do not contact employers.

Bad credit is considered as a factor in assessing loans, but this is not the only basis for our decision. If your credit history is a problem, we’ll be straight with you and if your situation changes you are welcome to apply again.

Completing your application for a personal loan should take less than 10 minutes. Sometimes we require extra information – we’ll let you know if we do.

We cannot confirm how long it will take us to assess your application but rest assured our team is working hard to provide an outcome for you as quickly as we can and usually within 24 hours.

It will take less than 10 minutes of your time to apply. If we need any more information regarding your application our friendly loans team will contact you.

We use an online verification tool – Credit Sense (a highly secure Australian Credit Reporting Body) to view your bank information. The Credit Sense process is quick, convenient, and secure and allows us to process your loan faster.

Find out how safe Credit Sense is here.

While you are required to provide your internet banking login details during the Credit Sense process, neither Cash Converters or Credit Sense sees or stores your internet banking login credentials. Your credentials are encrypted when you enter them, passed to your bank to allow us read only access to your transaction history, and then permanently deleted.

As part of our Responsible Lending obligations, we need to ensure the information we have gathered is correct. Once your details are confirmed, we can process your application more efficiently.

A top-up is a new loan, with a portion of the funds used to settle your previous loan balance. We need to make sure the top-up is enough to clear your existing loan balance AND cover what you need the new loan for.

We normally prefer you have been paying your existing loan with us for at least 6 weeks before applying for a top up, but we will occasionally consider going earlier for customers with good history who have an urgent need.

Cash Converters takes a lot of information into account when making decision. Unfortunately, we can’t always provide you the exact reasons that your application was refused.

This may be that your income is not sufficient, your credit history is not suitable, or we have detected another issue with your application or banking information.

However, in the future, if your situation changes you are welcome to apply again.

You sure can! Please reach out to us by email or webchat to arrange a suitable time.
