Rapid Loans

Rapid Loans is a New Zealand lender offering personal loans from $1,000 to $10,000 with terms from 6 to 48 months. They specialise in fast approval and consider applicants with less-than-perfect credit histories. Rates start from 15.95% p.a. Applications are completed online with decisions typically within the same business day.

Rapid Loans takes a personal approach, assessing each application individually rather than relying solely on credit scores. They consider your current income and ability to repay.

Funds are transferred directly to your bank account once approved. An establishment fee and interest on the outstanding balance apply.
