A credit rating is used to determine a consumer’s creditworthiness in five broad terms ranging from one to five. This measure of risk is mostly used by marketers.
A 1 star credit rating would indicate that the individual may have previously had problems repaying their debts, and therefore would be classed as 'high risk'. An average credit rating is 3 stars which is the mainstream target area for most lenders. A 5 star rating is the highest credit rating available and applies to those who have a very low risk of defaulting and who have an excellent credit history.
Your credit score is a more precise and accurate statistical measurement of the probability of an individual defaulting. This form of scoring is used by lenders to assess the risk of a consumer's credit application, assisting them in deciding whether to accept or decline the application. Each lender will create a 'cut-off score'. Applicants with a score greater than this will be accepted, and anything lower will be automatically rejected.
Givemecredit's scoring ranges from 0-1000, with 0 being classed as awful and 1000 regarded as excellent. We advise that an average score would sit around the 750 mark. The Givemecredit scorecard is used on all our existing international websites.
A higher credit score increases your chances of obtaining credit, but also makes you more eligible to receive credit with better terms, such as a lower rate of interest or increased credit limits.
Each lender will have a different cut-off score. This will vary depending on how hungry they are for new business and the amount of risk they are prepared to take.
Personal loans provide a quick and easy way to borrow money when you need it. Whether you wish to purchase a new car, take the family on holiday or consolidate your existing debts, a personal loan can be personalised to suit your individual needs.
Depending on the loan you choose, you will be able to spread your repayments over 3 to 84 months, putting you in control of how much you repay each month. Most lenders will also give you the option of how often you make each payment, whether you wish to pay weekly, fortnightly or monthly. It is important to remember however, that by extending the term of the loan will result in more interest being added to the total outstanding amount.
To receive the best rates available, you will need to have an excellent credit rating and meet the lenders requirements in terms of minimum salary and be a permanent New Zealand resident.
If you know your credit rating, select it by hovering your mouse over the panel to the right and clicking on the appropriate rating. If you don’t know your credit rating, click the button to calculate it for free. This will match up your rating with lender appetite to give you the best chance of success with your application.
The ASB Personal Loan provides a quick and easy way to borrow money when you need it fast. You will be able to borrow a minimum of $2,000 for almost any reason and pay it over a period that suits you up to 7 years. The unsecured loan option has an interest rate of 17.95% p.a. If you're looking for a new car or something similar, then ASB will give you the option to secure the loan against the asset for a lower rate of 14.95% p.a. The loan establishment fee of $250 is automatically added to the loan balance so you won't have to pay this fee up front.
Representative example: assumed borrowing of $10,000 over 60 months at a fixed rate of 12.95% per annum and fees of $250 would result in a representative rate of 12.95% APR (fixed), monthly repayments of $227.59, total amount repayable is $13,655.80

As like the ASB Personal Loan, you will be able to repay it over 84 months with the choice of adding the application fee to the outstanding balance, so you won't have any nasty surprises upon account opening. A loan processing fee of $99 may apply.
Representative example: assumed borrowing of $5,000 over 60 months at a rate of 16.45% per annum would result in a representative rate of 16.45% APR (fixed), monthly repayments of $124.77, total amount repayable is approximately $7,486.
You will be able to borrow a minimum of $2,000 and choose to make repayments from 6 to 84 months. If successful in your application you could have the funds in your account within 24 hours.

Unlike credit card bills you'll pay a fixed amount each month over a set period that suits you. There’s an establishment fee of $240. Kiwibank Graduate Pack customers won’t be charged an establishment fee.
