Personal loan FAQs

Common questions about getting a personal loan through Lending Room.

Can't find what you're looking for? Contact our team

Will applying affect my credit score? +

We run a soft credit check during our assessment which does not appear on your credit file or affect your score. Once we match you to a lender, some accept our soft check while others may run their own standard credit check as part of their process. We will let you know before we submit.

Why should I use Lending Room instead of going direct? +

Every time you apply directly with a lender they run a hard credit check that leaves a mark on your file. Apply to five lenders separately and your score takes five hits before you have even borrowed anything. With Lending Room one application reaches multiple lenders with a single soft check.

How much can I borrow? +

The minimum is $3,000 and the maximum is $250,000 depending on the lender and your personal circumstances. Loan terms range from 6 to 84 months.

What can I use a personal loan for? +

Personal loans can be used for almost any purpose including car purchases, home renovations, debt consolidation, medical costs, travel and more. Tell us what you need the loan for and we will match you to the most suitable lender.

How quickly will I hear back? +

In most cases you will hear back the same day. Same-day funding is possible for applications approved before 12pm on business days.

Can I apply if I am on a work visa? +

Yes. We accept open work visas and employer-specific work visas with at least 13 months remaining, provided you have a regular NZ-based income and a good credit history.

Is there a fee to use Lending Room? +

A broker and introducer fee of up to $1,500 applies when your loan is successfully funded. This fee is added to your loan amount and is GST inclusive. It is disclosed clearly before you commit to anything and you are never under obligation to proceed. Lender establishment fees may also apply depending on the lender.
