There are many differences between lenders when it comes to loan features and it can be hard to know what to look for. That’s why we have compiled this handy checklist to help you get the best deal!
*Annual Interest Rates (AIR) range from 9.95% p.a. to 35.50% p.a. with loan terms of 6 months to 84 months. Fees apply.
Example: A loan of $10,000 over 60 months at 10.95% has a Loansmart fee of $745 totalling weekly repayments of $53.72*. The total amount payable is $13,967.70. This equates to an Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of 14.23%
*Lender establishment fee, monthly admin fee & any optional insurances are variable so not included.

New Zealand law does not require APR disclosure, but doing so can better highlight borrowing costs.
