Our Verdict
SBS Bank's personal loan provides a straightforward option for those needing cash quickly, but the interest rates may not be the most competitive.
Pros
- Flexible loan amounts from NZD 1,000 to NZD 30,000
- Quick approval time of 1-3 business days
- Accessible for NZ citizens and permanent residents
Cons
- Interest rates can be high (11.5% to 15.5% APR)

- Not ideal for those with lower credit scores
SBS Bank's personal loan offers a flexible borrowing range from NZD 1,000 to NZD 30,000, with terms between 6 to 60 months. The interest rates vary from 11.5% to 15.5% APR, which is relatively high compared to some competitors like ANZ, which can offer lower rates depending on your credit profile. Approval can take 1-3 business days, making it a suitable choice if you need funds relatively quickly.
The requirements are straightforward: applicants must be NZ citizens or permanent residents aged 18 or older with a regular income. This makes it accessible for a broad audience, however, those with lower credit scores might face challenges securing the best rates. Notably, the application process is user-friendly, but potential borrowers should be prepared for the possibility of higher total repayment amounts due to the interest rates.
What sets this loan apart is its range of loan amounts and terms, but borrowers should compare these rates against other lenders. For instance, Westpac offers loans at lower APRs, but may have stricter eligibility criteria. Therefore, it’s advisable to assess your options before committing to a personal loan with SBS Bank.
Who It's For
This loan is suitable for NZ citizens or permanent residents with a reliable income, looking for a straightforward personal loan solution.
Watch Out
Be cautious of the higher APR, which can lead to significant interest charges over time, especially if you opt for the maximum term.
