"Stream got my business $180K of equipment finance in 3 days after two banks wasted 5 weeks of my time. The difference wasn't luck. They just knew which lender would say yes."

Bank vs Stream

Your bank only sees one answer. We get you twenty.

One bank means one yes or one no, after weeks of back-and-forth. Our panel shops every option in parallel and comes back with real numbers, fast.

The old way

Bank-by-bank, week-by-week, fingers crossed.

  • One bank, one credit team, one answer
  • Every decline leaves a mark on your credit file
  • 4-6 weeks from first call to answer
  • If you're self-employed, they start at "no"
  • Hidden add-ons bolted onto dealer finance
  • You never see the other 19 options that would have said yes
The Stream way

One application, 20+ lenders, decision in 48 hours.

  • One soft check, zero impact on your score
  • Every option on our panel reviewed in parallel
  • 48-hour decision on most deals
  • Self-employed, visa holders, past defaults — all welcome
  • Every fee disclosed before you sign anything
  • No win, no fee. We only get paid when you settle.
Answering the real questions

The three things every Kiwi asks before they click apply.

Cut through the sales talk. Here's what actually matters.

"Will this hurt my credit?"

No. We run a soft check only. Your score stays untouched.

A hard credit enquiry only ever happens once you pick a lender and tell us to proceed. Until then, you see every option without a single mark on your file.

  • Soft check at enquiry stage, zero impact
  • 30-day approval lock once you pick a lender
  • You can walk away at any point, no obligation

Impact on your credit score for enquiring with Stream

"What will it actually cost me?"

Nothing, most of the time. Lenders pay us.

We get a commission from the lender when your deal settles. In most cases that's our only payment. Where a broker fee applies (complex, non-prime, or small balance deals), we disclose the exact fee in writing before you sign anything.

  • No upfront fees to enquire or apply
  • No win, no fee. No settlement, no charge.
  • Every lender fee listed on your loan doc before signing
Your cost at enquiry

$0

Flat rate for the entire application process, win or lose

"I have bad credit / no 2-year accounts / a visa"

Our non-bank panel exists for exactly this.

Most of the deals we place are the ones banks turned away first. Self-employed with messy books, defaults in the last 3 years, trading under 12 months, recent work visa. Tell us the full picture and we'll tell you honestly what's possible.

  • Specialist non-bank lenders for every real situation
  • Honest answer if we can't help, not a sales pitch
  • Zero judgment. We've seen every story.

Questions, answered

No marketing spin. Just straight answers.

Business: $30K–$500K depending on turnover and security. Vehicle: $10K–$150K based on vehicle value and deposit. Personal: $3K–$70K based on net income. We tell you a realistic ceiling on the first call, not at the end.

No. We run a soft credit check at enquiry, which has zero impact. A hard enquiry only happens once you've picked a lender and told us to proceed.

Most decisions land inside 48 hours once you send us your documents. Clean vehicle deals are often same-day. Complex business deals can take 5–7 working days.

The lender pays us a commission when your deal settles. In most cases that's our only payment. Where a broker fee applies (complex or non-prime deals) we disclose the exact fee in writing before you sign anything. See our disclosure.

Yes. We'll look at total cost, early-repayment fees on the loan you already have, and tell you honestly whether consolidation actually saves money or just stretches the pain.

Our non-bank panel exists for exactly this. Defaults, past arrears, self-employed with messy books, recent visa. Tell us the full picture and we'll tell you what's possible. If we can't help, we'll say so straight.

Broker. We do not lend money ourselves. We arrange finance between you and our panel of third-party lenders. We're a Financial Service Provider and a member of FSCL (our external dispute resolution scheme).

See what you qualify for in 60 seconds.

One soft check. Twenty-plus lenders. Zero impact on your credit score.
