LoansFinder is a loan information, comparison and referral platform helping New Zealanders understand their borrowing options. We bring together publicly available lender information and practical explanations so readers can compare costs, features and requirements before approaching a provider.
Founded in 2013 by Alexander Balanoff, LoansFinder forms part of the financial website network operated by Profitech Credit Solutions.
Our story: making borrowing easier to understand
LoansFinder began with a straightforward purpose: to make researching loans more manageable. Finding a provider is one part of that process. Understanding what a loan could cost, how repayments work and which conditions apply is equally important.
Since 2013, the website has covered borrowing options for individuals and business owners. Today, its content includes personal loans, vehicle finance, home loans, business finance, short-term borrowing and debt consolidation, alongside guides to budgeting, credit and managing repayments.
The founder behind LoansFinder
Alexander Balanoff’s background spans website development, digital publishing and managing online comparison platforms. His work has included financial websites serving New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom and South Africa, covering loans, credit, debt and insurance.
LoansFinder brings that publishing experience to a New Zealand audience. Its purpose is to help readers understand how products work, recognise the costs and conditions that deserve attention, and identify questions to ask a provider before applying.
Helping you look beyond the headline rate
A useful comparison considers more than an advertised interest rate or a small regular repayment. Fees, the repayment period, security requirements and the total amount repayable can materially affect the cost and obligations of borrowing.
Our provider profiles and guides give readers a starting point for that research. People use LoansFinder for different reasons, from planning a purchase to reviewing existing debt. Borrowing may not be suitable in every situation, and a listing cannot establish whether a particular reader will qualify or afford the repayments.
The people and information behind our content
Our content draws on publicly available provider information to explain borrowing options in accessible language. The aim is to help readers understand product features, costs and limitations without treating an advertised offer as a personalised recommendation.

Product information can change. Confirm current rates, fees, eligibility requirements and repayment terms directly with the provider before relying on a listing or proceeding with an application.
What happens when you make an enquiry
LoansFinder does not lend money or approve applications. If you submit an enquiry through our website, your details may be shared with participating lenders or referral partners so they can assess your request and contact you.
The lender makes the credit decision and determines the terms of any offer. Submitting an enquiry does not establish eligibility or confirm that funds will be available. Our content provides general information rather than personalised financial advice.
How LoansFinder is funded
LoansFinder may receive advertising payments, referral fees or affiliate commissions. These commercial arrangements help support the website and may influence the content or placements you see.
A provider’s inclusion does not establish that it offers the lowest cost or is suitable for your circumstances. Read our Affiliate Disclaimer for more information about commercial relationships.
Questions, feedback and corrections

Questions about an application, loan agreement or repayment arrangement should be directed to the provider handling your enquiry.
