NonBank

THE NON BANK LENDING SPECIALISTS

We are a team of Financial Advisers who specialise as Non Bank Mortgage Brokers, dealing with lenders who provide Non Bank or Second Tier lending options. 

Our team offer specialist Non Bank lending advice and we are recognised as having one of the largest networks of Non Bank lenders in New Zealand. A recent client said that they were working with another broker and got 7 declines in a row, while they got approval in 24 hours from NonBk Ltd, so you know you are in good hands.

With the wide choice of Non Bank lending solutions still not fully understood by so many clients and brokers, plus with the ongoing restrictions and changes to credit policy, there are many genuine potential borrowers just looking for help when their Bank has turned them away. This is why NonBk Ltd was launched, and receives thousands of visitors, just like you, looking for help. 

We pride ourselves on having a strong focus on finding Non Bank lending solutions for all New Zealanders, whether it is first home buyers, borrowers with bad credit, investors, saving mortgagee sales, developers, farmers or business operators needing to raise much-needed finance when their mainstream Bank has said NO.

As highly experienced Auckland Mortgage Brokers, we have a can-do attitude and are happy to discuss what options are available to help you.
