Direct vs broker

Going direct means one rate. Going through us means twenty.

The same lender might offer you a different rate depending on how your application is packaged. We know exactly how to present you so the numbers come back right.

Going direct

Apply to each. Get quoted whatever they give you.

  • One lender, one rate, no comparison
  • Every rejection hits your credit file
  • Non-prime lenders often quote highest rate first
  • No negotiation leverage
  • You don't know if your rate is fair
Through Stream

One application. Every lender. Best rate wins.

  • 20+ lenders review your profile in parallel
  • Soft check only at the enquiry stage
  • File packaged to surface your strengths
  • Offers laid side by side so you can compare
  • Broker fee (if any) disclosed before you sign
Before you click apply

Read this first.

We'd rather you make the right call than a rushed one.

"Is a personal loan actually the right tool?"

Not always. We'll tell you straight.

Personal loans are more expensive than secured loans. If you own a car outright, secured vehicle finance often wins. If you have equity in property, a mortgage top-up may be cheaper. We'll tell you the truth even if we don't get the deal.

  • Car equity → secured vehicle finance typically cheaper
  • Home equity → mortgage top-up often wins
  • Short-term need → credit card balance transfer sometimes fits
When we say no to a personal loan

Enquiries. Sometimes the right tool is a different product.

"Will consolidation actually save me money?"

Only if it reduces total interest, not just monthly repayments.

Consolidation that just stretches the same debt over more years can cost you more. We run both scenarios so you see the full total cost before you sign anything.

  • We compare: current total cost vs consolidated total cost
  • Factor in early-repayment fees on existing debts
  • Show you the break-even month clearly
Typical consolidation outcome

Average fortnightly saving for clients consolidating 3+ debts

"My credit isn't perfect"

Tell us everything. We'll tell you honestly what's possible.

Defaults, arrears, recent visa, beneficiary, self-employed. Every one of those is a normal Kiwi situation, and there are lenders for every one. If we can't help, we'll say so straight.

  • Defaults over 12 months old rarely block a deal
  • Work visas, student visas both considered
  • Benefit income + stable history is fundable
