+ Should you apply if you already have debt?

As a responsible bad credit loans lender, we would first encourage you to look at alternative options before taking out a short-term loan.

Our loans are designed to be used in case of an emergency, such as an unforeseen medical bill, emergency vehicle repairs, or other unexpected costs which take you by surprise.

If you’re already in debt, we would advise you not to take out a bad credit loan. This will only increase your financial responsibilities. Talk to the Citizens Advice Bureau or get budgeting advice from a service like sorted.org.nz. You can find out more by reading our information on hardship.

If you are borrowing to repay debt or pay bill arrears, check with the creditor first to see if you can work out a payment plan with them. Explore all your options before you apply for a Need Money Now loan.

+ Do I need to give a reason for my loan application?

We are a responsible lender which means we follow new regulations which require us to ask you for the purpose of your loan.

This also means, unless you have a good reason, we reserve the right not to approve your loan.

+ Can I get a loan if I am not in employment?

When we give loans, it’s important we’re sure people are able to repay them. This is why we will only give you a loan if you are in ongoing employment and earn over $400 per week net (after-tax) from your employer.

If you are one of the following income earners, you’ll be unable to get a loan:

  • Beneficiaries
  • Self-employed
  • Unemployed
  • Part-time employed (with less than $400 net income per week)
  • Superannuitants
+ How much money can I borrow?

You can borrow between $100 to $1,000, depending on your ability to meet our lending criteria which largely depends on how much you earn.

However, if it’s your first time getting a loan from us, this range is from $100 to $500.

In respect to payments, to ensure you can afford to repay your loan you will never have to repay more than 25% of your net pay each pay period.

+ How do I provide my bank statements?

If your bank is compatible with our system, then you can do this online. You can do this by completing the bank verification details when prompted during your loan application.

This way of providing your bank’s read-only statement of the last 90 days worth of transactions is secured by your bank so you can have peace of mind your details will be protected.

When you enter your Internet banking login-in details, our agent DecisionLogic means we will have access to your transaction history from the accounts you gave us during your loan application.

We will only ever have read-only access to your account balances, transaction details and account names. This will enable us to assess your current as well as future bad credit loans applications.

The following banks are compatible with our technology:

  • ANZ
  • BNZ
  • Kiwibank
  • Westpac
  • TSB
  • ASB

In the event you don’t use Internet banking or are with a non-compatible bank, you can have your bank send copies of your statements manually to us at [email protected].

When we receive your bank statements a customer service representative will contact you to complete your application. We do not accept manual copies of your statements sent directly from yourself.

+ How do I know if I have a tax refund due?

We’re a responsible lender and would encourage you to look at alternative options before taking out a short-term loan.

+ What is a promotion code and where can I get one?

We may periodically give out codes during promotions which you can use to save money on the normal cost of your loan.

Your promotion code will need to be entered during the online loan application process.

Each code has different rules and expiry dates, so check to make sure any code you use is still valid when you apply.

Approval Process

+ Can I still get a loan if I have bad credit?

Yes. You can potentially qualify for bad credit loans to help pay your bills. 

However, our bad credit loans are to be used in case of an emergency. If you are already in debt, see our information on hardship – other options may be available to you. We will assess each loan on a case by case basis. If you are borrowing to repay debt or pay bill arrears, check with the creditor first to see if you can work out a payment plan with them.

+ Do you contact my employer?

Provided you have not defaulted on your loan, we generally would not contact your employer. We may, however, contact your employer as part of our application process to ensure you are still employed.

We will never discuss the amount you are borrowing or the purpose of the loan with your employer. These details are confidential. The information we verify is to ensure you have a reliable, consistent source of employment that meets our threshold of $400 a week net.

We may contact your employer if you are in default of your loan. Please see the section below regarding Wage Deduction Authority.

+ How do I receive my money?

We will transfer the money directly into your bank account within 60 minutes of your loan being approved, provided your bank accepts same day cleared payments.

Please note our 60-minute guarantee only applies to applications made between 9am and 4:30pm, Monday to Friday. Banks are closed at all other times, preventing us from making immediate payments outside those hours.

+ How do I pay you back?

We will set up an automatic direct debit to collect the money directly from your bank account. The money will be deducted on the same night you are paid.

Please be aware, if the funds are not available in your account on the agreed direct debit date, you may incur a default fee.

Please refer to our Fees and hardship policy for further details. We will send you a text message reminder the day before your repayment is scheduled.

+ How much do I pay back each week?

As a responsible lender, we ensure you never have to repay more than 25% of your net pay each payday as we want to make sure you can afford to repay your loan.

+ What if I am unable to repay my loan?

If you think you have insufficient funds in your account on the repayment date please contact us immediately to halt the direct debit. We realize your circumstances can change and will work with you to resolve this.

There are hardship options available to you under the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act 2003 if you cannot genuinely afford to repay your loan. See our hardship policy for further details.

+ What do I do if I don't want the loan anymore?

You have five working days from the moment the terms of the loan are disclosed to you to return the loan proceeds to Zebra and cancel your loan agreement. Check the loan agreement for a full statement on the terms and conditions of the loan.

+ Can I pay back my loan early?

Yes. You won’t be charged any additional fees for early repayment. Interest is calculated daily. If you would like to repay your loan earlier please give us a call and we will inform you what your final repayment amount is.

+ What is a Wage Deduction Authority?

A Wage Deduction is only utilized by us as a last resort when we have exhausted all attempts with the borrower to reach a suitable repayment arrangement.

Failure to repay your loan may lead to legal action and may adversely affect your ability to gain credit in the future.

If you have doubts about whether you’ll be able to repay a loan we suggest you should not take out a loan.

We will present the Wage Deduction Authority to your employer (or future employer) and the payment of the loan plus costs will be paid directly to Zebra Loans by your employer from your wages, salary, commissions or holiday pay.
