Lower repayments to fit your budget (if eligible)
Shorten your term to pay it off faster and reduce total interest
Rate stability with a sharper/fixed option (where available)
Restructure—remove/replace a balloon or tidy the schedule
Consolidate debts into one repayment, when appropriate

Things to Consider

Extending your term lowers each repayment but can increase total interest paid.
Switching loans may involve fees, including current-lender early-repayment costs and any new-loan setup fees.
If consolidating debts, close old cards/accounts—otherwise balances can build up again.
Not all debts can be included in a refinance; lender criteria apply.
We’ll show all fees and trade-offs clearly in a no-obligation quote before you decide.

Vehicle refinance FAQs

What’s a no-obligation quote and how do I get one?

Tell us about your current loan (about three minutes). We compare options across leading NZ lenders and send you a clear quote - rates, fees, terms, and an estimated total cost. You decide if you want to proceed; there’s no obligation.

Will refinancing affect my credit score?

A quote doesn’t require a hard check. If you choose to proceed, we’ll only run any credit checks with your OK. A hard check may appear on your file and can move your score.

How long does it take?

Many loans settle the same day once we have all the info needed. If you proceed and are approved, settlement can happen quickly once conditions are met - timing varies by lender.

Are there fees to switch?

Possibly. There can be early-repayment costs with your current lender and setup fees on a new loan. We walk through the various costs so you can weigh the trade-offs.

Will my repayments definitely go down?

Not always. Repayments depend on rate, fees and the term you choose. Lower repayments can mean paying more interest overall if the term is longer - your adviser will talk you through the others and impact either way.

Can I roll other debts into the new loan?

Sometimes. Consolidation can simplify things, but total interest may increase if you extend the term. If you do consolidate, closing old accounts matters - otherwise balances can build up again. We’ll include this in your quote.
