Will applying affect my credit score?
No, applying with us won’t impact your credit score.
Your credit score is a crucial factor in your borrowing power and the interest rates you’re offered. We take this seriously. When you apply through us, there’s no impact on your credit score. Only when you choose a lender and proceed with your application does a full credit check occur, and a credit inquiry is added to your record.
As a tip, consider using tools like Clear Score or other credit bureau services in New Zealand to stay on top of your credit profile and take action when needed. It’s a great way to stay informed and prepared!
