"We have been customers of NZHL for around 14 months and were previously with ASB bank.
In this time we have gained a whole new confidence in managing our finances through NZHL willingness to help us achieve our financial goals by making everything so easy and transparent.
From our quarterly meetings, to DebtNav– following our mortgage journey, Darin Armstrong has been the most hands on banking advisor we have ever had, hugely reliable, quick with correspondence, and meeting with us on a regular basis to see how we are tracking with our mortgage and discussing any issues we may have.
From time to time we have wanted to pay more on our mortgage and all we have had to do is a simple email to Darin and he has always been able to arrange this very quickly, helping us to pay our mortgage off faster.
In the past, we have found it a bit of a hassle to try and simply increase repayments, where other banks make you jump through hoops to do this simple task, possibly to deter a quicker repayment of a mortgage.
We also have a number of insurances through NZ home loans and this was quick and easy to organise with Darin. It is really great to have all these things covered by the one provider.
It has been a hugely refreshing and rewarding experience banking with NZHL, we couldn’t be happier and regularly recommend Darin to friends and family."
