Shop like a cash buyer. Get conditionally approved, so you know in advance how much you can afford to spend. When you find the perfect vehicle and the sale is complete, we can help you pay the seller direct.
Fast answers. Call 0800 549 454 and chat to one of the team or use our online application and in most cases we’ll be in touch within 24 hours.
Cash by the next business day if you’ve supplied all the information we’ve asked for.
Flexible terms to suit your needs - from six months to seven years. Choose lower repayments with a longer loan term, or pay less interest with a shorter term. Repayments can be timed around your pay day, making it easier to stay on track.
Simple. Unlike credit card bills, you’ll know how much you need to repay and when. The interest rate is fixed and you can make additional repayments at any time – pay off your loan faster and save on interest charges.
Why get conditionally approved?
Conditionally approving your car loan means:
- Buy anywhere – privately, online, at an auction or car yard.
- Know upfront how much you can spend.
- Negotiate like a cash buyer – once you’ve found the car you want, we can transfer the funds the next business day if we have all the information we need.

- For Car Loan interest rates to apply, the minimum amount borrowed needs to be at least $6,000. You can add to the loan for more than just the vehicle purchase. Call 0800 549 454 to find out more.
