About NZHL

We help New Zealanders achieve financial freedom faster. And those are not just aspirational words, that’s actually what we do. In fact, our clients are currently saving tens of millions of dollars in interest costs per year, which is pretty awesome.  

We do this through partnering with our clients and providing them with a smart loan structure and tools that put them in control. And to top it all off, we are Passionately Kiwi (that is one of our values) with over 75 locally owned businesses across New Zealand. 

We are also Freedom Champions and Excellent Together (more of our values). We also offer our clients insurance to protect what’s important. We think it’s just the beginning for NZHL and are seeking passionate people who want to make financial freedom, faster a reality for more Kiwis.
