The lending team at OneStop regularly work with a number of Non-bank lenders and have years of experience in non-bank sector. It’s not always possible to get a loan with the bank, low deposits, less than ideal credit or self-employment can be a few things that make getting a home loan from a main stream bank difficult. This is where non-bank lenders come in to play. While the process is much the same, non bank lenders can be more lenient and take a different approach to your normal banks, as they are not governed by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.

$6 million in non bank home loans were registered in February 2024.

Non-bank lending institutions play an increasingly significant role for New Zealander’s buying homes. According to the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, approximately 3% of home loans registered are with non bank lenders.

Our dedicated mortgage brokers are focused on securing non bank loans for our clients who traditionally face roadblocks on the path to homeownership.

These include:

 

  • Low Deposits – We get creative and find solutions for potential homeowners with limited savings. Our case study is a perfect example of this.

  • Self Employed – Being your own boss shouldn’t disqualify you from buying a home.

Our Mortgage Brokers Have Helped Secure Non Bank Loans For:

High LVR Lending

LVR’s or loan to value ratios are a common term thrown around when talking about home loans. This is a rule implemented by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and dictates and limits the banks lending on purchases with less that a 20% deposit. Banks are only able to use a certain amount of available lending for those low deposit loans. This means banks will usually only consider existing customers, if you are unsuccessful in getting a low deposit loan from your own bank second-tier or non-bank lenders can be an excellent alternative.

Self Employed Lending

Getting a home loan through a mainstream bank can be tricky without 2 years financial statements.  However, this isn’t always possible so instead of letting time tick by, explore your alternative options.  At OneStop we have been successful in getting home loans for those self employed for less that 2 years with non-bank lenders instead.  There are still a few key requirements, being:

  • Must have been trading for at least 6 months and have the relevant experience or qualifications (not a brand new business in a brand new industry)
  • Maximum 80% lending
  • Income must be within typical industry limits
u

Less than Ideal Credit

Having bad credit or defaults on your credit report can hinder your chances in getting a home loan. Banks are typically pretty harsh when it comes to poor credit history and it usually reduces your chances of getting lending through them. We understand that mistakes happen, or some things are out of our control and non-bank lenders typically have a more favourable approach when it comes to credit history, making them a great option when the main banks don’t come to the party.

Frequently Asked Questions About Non Bank Lending

What is a Non Bank Loan?

A non-bank loan is a mortgage or personal loan provided by lenders who are not traditional banks. These lenders are often more flexible and can provide loans to people who do not meet the strict criteria of traditional banks, such as those with less-than-perfect credit scores or irregular income.

Who should consider a non-bank loan?

Non-bank loans are ideal for borrowers who might be unable to secure financing from traditional banks. This includes people with low credit scores, the self-employed with irregular income, those with non-traditional employment, or people who need faster loan approval than what is typically offered by banks.

Are non-bank loans more expensive than bank loans?

Non-bank loans can have higher interest rates and fees compared to traditional bank loans. This is due to the higher risk associated with lending to individuals who do not meet standard lending criteria. However, they offer flexibility and a higher chance of approval under circumstances that traditional banks typically reject.

What are the requirements to qualify for a non-bank loan?

The requirements can vary widely depending on the lender. Generally, lenders will look at your credit history, income stability, debt-to-income ratio, and the amount of deposit you have. Non-bank lenders may be more flexible in considering these factors compared to traditional banks.

How long does it take to get a non-bank loan?

The time to get a non-bank loan can be significantly shorter than getting a loan from a traditional bank. Many non-bank lenders can make a decision within a few days, as they often have less stringent approval processes.

Can I refinance a non-bank loan with a traditional bank in the future?

Yes, it is possible to refinance a non-bank loan with a traditional bank in the future. Many people use non-bank loans as a temporary solution to improve their financial standing and then refinance to a traditional bank loan once they meet the bank’s lending criteria.
