BANK LENDERS
IN AUCKLAND, NZ

Banks Are One of Many Lenders

Platinum Mortgages Advisers have a strong relationship with banks, non banks and private lenders in NZ. Their expertise is to match your circumstances to lenders criteria, so you don’t waste time going through research and applying directly to the lenders yourself, ending up with a decline.

Rather than relying on a single bank, we help you compare options across the wider lending market to find the right fit for your situation.

Let Platinum Mortgages do the shopping around and negotiate the best deal for you. You could save money and time and have the benefit of a Mortgage Expert to help improve your chances of getting your application approved.

Why stick with your own bank without checking out the competition? Platinum Mortgages will advise which mortgage deal suits you, by looking through both bank and non bank mortgage options. Learn more about non bank lending options.

Platinum Mortgages advisers work with ANZ Bank, ASB Bank, Westpac, BNZ, TSB Bank, Co-operative Bank, Sovereign Home Loans and many other banks and non bank lenders in NZ. Below are some of the key highlights of the top 7 mainstream banks.

Reverse Mortgages

For homeowners later in life, a reverse mortgage can provide a way to access the equity in your home, without needing to sell or make regular repayments.

It can be used to improve day-to-day cashflow, support retirement or cover unexpected expenses, all while continuing to live in your home!

We help you carefully assess whether a reverse mortgage is the right option for your situation, explain how it works ,and guide you through the process with clarity and care.

Personal Lending

In some situations, a shorter-term personal loan can be a practical way to manage a smaller financial need or bridge a temporary gap.

However, it's important to get the structure right. What seems like a quick solution can sometimes create longer-term pressure if not carefully considered.

We help you assess whether personal lending makes sense for your situation, or whether a more strategic approach would better support your long-term financial position.

It’s natural to think that going directly to your bank will be the simplest option. However, working with a Mortgage Adviser gives you access to a much wider range of lending options across the market. With the support of Platinum Mortgages, you can explore both bank and specialist lending pathways, oustide of main banks, helping ensure your application is structured to suit the right lender from the outset.

If your application has already been declined by a bank, it's important to understand that alternative pathways may still be available depending on your situation. Our advisers have extensive experience working with more complex applications and can guide you through the next steps. To better understand what to do after a decline, you can explore your options on our Bank Said No page.

Alternatively, you can contact us to discuss your situation with a Platinum Mortgages Adviser.
