Can I get a loan with bad credit?

We believe that every New Zealander deserves to live their best financial life. While a bad credit score can make the process more difficult or result in a higher interest rate, it doesn’t necessarily mean that your application will be declined.

That's why every new application for a personal loan with Unity requires a credit check. From here, we can assess the interest rate as well as the loan terms, and weigh this against any other personal information provided, including your financial profile, credit history and your capacity to repay the loan.

Please Note: Applicants must not be currently bankrupt or entered into a NAP (No Asset Procedure)
