About 121 Finance

121 Finance was established in April 2000 by its two founders and working directors. Since then, we have been delivering professional loan services to the greater community.

With ten years of experience in the finance industry, the two founders, who are just average born and bred Kiwis saw that there was a place in the financial market for a company to offer finance to the average Kiwi resident. Individuals such as yourself, who couldn’t be bothered dealing with intimidating financial institutions and corporate structures, perhaps you couldn’t qualify for a personal loan NZ or maybe just didn’t have the time during working hours get there.

Normal lending criteria do not apply

We are financing specialists who cater to all people, for all financing requirements, even bad credit loans. At 121 Finance the only thing we don’t believe in is that “normal lending criteria apply” because it doesn’t matter what your financial situation or history, we process each application on its individual merits.
