# Lending Room

> Lending Room is a registered New Zealand loan broker (FSP486566). We match employed New Zealanders with good credit histories to the right lender from a panel of 20+ vetted NZ lenders. One application, one soft credit check, multiple lender options.

## What We Do

Lending Room is not a lender and not a loan comparison site. We are a broker. When you apply, we assess your profile and match you to the most suitable lender from our panel. You submit one application, we run one soft credit check that does not affect your credit score, and we present you with your options. We do not accept applications from people on benefits, WINZ support, or in financial hardship, and we do not offer payday loans.
