        Unsecured loans in New Zealand

There are both pros and cons when considering this type of credit and it’s important to understand then before jumping in.

What is an unsecured loan?

A secured loan is when one of the borrower's assets – such as a car, jewellery, term deposit or other type of property – is used as security against the loan. If the borrower is unable to repay the loan, the lender will take ownership of the asset as a way to recuperate the money they loaned out. 

When a borrower doesn’t have any assets or they’d rather not have their assets attached to a loan, they can choose the option of an unsecured loan. The interest rates are typically higher than those associated with secured loans for the fact that the lender is taking on more risk by providing funds with no security to fall back on if the borrower defaults on their repayment obligations. An unsecured loan is less risky to the borrower because they’re not going to lose their personal property if they can’t make their repayments for whatever reason. However, this doesn’t mean that a borrower can simply stop making repayments with no consequences. The lender can take legal action to recover their money through different avenues which could even include bankruptcy.

An unsecured loan is riskier for the lender so they may rely more heavily on aspects such as the borrower's credit history, credit rating and income consistency and amount. They need to be extra sure that the borrower is likely and able to repay the loan as there is no safety-net in the form of a secured asset to fall back on. 

Unsecured loans are generally for a much shorter term than secured loans with the range being one to seven years for unsecured compared to up to 15 years for a secured loan. 

What are the cons of an unsecured loan?

What are the pros of an unsecured loan?

How much can I borrow?

Generally, unsecured loans range from $2,000 up to $70,000, depending on the lender you choose. For higher amounts, a secured loan may need to be considered. 

Where can I get an unsecured loan?

Almost all lenders have their own version of an unsecured personal loan so there are lots of options to choose from depending on your needs. Compare our unsecured loans to find one to suit your needs (insert link to unsecured personal loans).
