Flexible Solutions When Banks Say No

Not everyone fits the banks’ strict one-size-fits-all rules, and that’s okay.

Whether you are self-employed, have a complex credit history, or simply do not meet traditional criteria, Genesis Mortgages helps you find the lender who looks at your whole story, not just a credit score.

Flexible Lending

What Is Non-Bank Lending?

Non-bank lenders are reputable, fully regulated financial institutions that provide home loans and business finance outside the major banks.

How It Works

More Flexible Criteria Than Traditional Banks

Non-bank lenders are not bound by the same rigid internal policies as major banks, so they can often assess complex situations with more flexibility.

Alternative income verification using GST returns or bank statements.
Consideration of credit history context, including past defaults or late payments.
Options for unique or non-standard property types.
Faster approval times, often within 24 to 48 hours.
Who This Is For

You’ll Benefit from Our Non-Bank Expertise If You Are

Newly self-employed with less than 2 years of trading history.
Recently declined by your bank due to LVR or servicing rules.
Repairing credit after past defaults, liquidations, or a low credit score.
Needing speed, such as a fast bridging loan before your current property sells.
Consolidating high-interest debt into a manageable property-backed loan.

FAQs

Non-Bank Lending Questions

Are non-bank lenders safe?

+

Yes. They are regulated under the same New Zealand consumer protection laws as the big banks.

Will my interest rate be higher?

+

Often yes, but this is the trade-off for the flexibility they provide while we work on your bank-ready pathway.

Can I pay off the loan early?

+

Most non-bank lenders allow flexible repayment terms, which we will negotiate on your behalf.

Do I still get a cash-back offer?

+

Cash-back offers are less common than with banks, but some specialist lenders do offer incentives which we will always pursue for you.
