What can an instant personal loan cover?
- Emergency medical or dental costs
- Car repairs, tyres or rego/WOF
- Flights, accommodation or urgent travel
- Tech upgrades – phone, laptop, appliances
- Catch-up on power, rates or insurance premiums
- Consolidating small overdue bills into one tidy payment
Personal loan eligibility – credit score & key criteria
- Applying is straightforward. You’ll generally qualify if you:
- Are 18 + and a NZ resident
- Earn a regular income from salary, wages or self-employment
- Have a credit score above 500 (lower scores considered with security)
- Provide three months’ bank statements and valid photo ID
- Can comfortably service the loan amount after normal living expenses
Your credit score influences both the interest rate and the maximum loan amount, but we look at the full picture – income stability, existing debts and overall financial situation – before making a decision.

Disclaimer
This calculator is intended as a helpful guide for use when comparing loan providers and should only be used as such. It provides results based on the assumptions below and the information you provide.
- The calculated amount is not a quote or offer from Real Finance (or our External Lenders).
- Repayment amounts calculated are based on an indicative annual interest rate of 23.95%, an Establishment fee and a Monthly Administration fee.
- The rate offered to successful applicants will depend on individual circumstances and loan type, including your credit score, affordability and security offered.
- Our current annual interest rates and costs of borrowing can be found here.
- Other fees or charges may apply to your individual loan.
- It assumes you make all your required repayments in full and on time and therefore do not enter default.

Frequently asked questions
How fast is the money released?

Once documents are signed and checks complete, funds are typically in your account the same business day.
Can I get an unsecured loan?

Yes – unsecured instant finance is available up to $20,000. Providing security can unlock larger limits or a sharper interest rate.
Will applying hurt my credit score?

We run a credit check as part of responsible lending. Multiple recent applications elsewhere may reduce your score; one enquiry with us usually has a minimal effect.
What if my circumstances change?

Contact us early. We can explore extending the term, switching to interest-only, or other hardship options to keep you on track.
Can I top-up later?

If your repayment history is solid, we can reassess and approve a top-up quickly.
