Common FAQs

Can I apply if I live outside the Wellington or Hawkes Bay area?

No sorry. At the moment, we can only process loans for customers in the Wellington, Kapiti, Wairarapa, Napier, Hastings, Wairoa, and Central Hawkes Bay regions. 

Do you loan to beneficiaries?

We sure do. Everyone is treated the same at Superloans.

Can I get a loan with bad credit?

Yes you can! A lot of our customers had a bad credit score to start with. We look at your current ability to repay a loan, not what happened in the past and we repair your credit score with Superscore.

Can I top up my Express Loan?

You sure can. The My Superloans App tells you when a top-up is available and how much you can walk out with if approved.

How much can I borrow?

The amount you can borrow depends on a number of factors. However, most new customers take advantage of our Free Loan up to $500. Check our Calculator to see how much cash you could walk out with.

I've paid back my loan. Can I get another one?

You sure can, and since you're an existing customer, your details are retained in our system, making the process even easier. Just pop into a branch or apply through your My Superloans app to get your next loan sorted.

I'm self-employed. Can I get a loan?

A Pawn Loan is perfect if you are self-employed. However, you may be approved for an Express Loan if you get a regular income, and meet the other criteria. Apply for a Free Loan to see if you qualify.

Do I need to bring ID each time I get a loan?

No, you don't. Once you've been approved as a Superloans customer and taken your first loan, all of your details are stored in our system. 

How old do I need to be?

You must be 18 or over to obtain an Express or Pawn Loan.

Can I have more than one loan at a time?

For an Express loan, the short answer is, it depends on the situation. You are welcome to apply and the credit team will discuss your options. 

There is no limit on Pawn Loans, so if you aren't able to get a second Express Loan, you are welcome to get a Pawn Loan as well.

Free Loan FAQs

How much can I borrow?

For your first, free loan, you can borrow up to $500.

The amount you can borrow will be dependent on your income. Check our calculator to see how much cash you could walk out with.

If you need more than $500, you will need to apply for an Express Loan (Express Loans over $500 do not qualify for the first loan free offer), or you could pawn an item of high value. 

Do you do credit checks?

A credit check is part of our application process, combined with other checks we complete using our own Responsible Lending Guidelines. However, we also take into account your current circumstances, not just your credit rating. Check out our Bad Credit loan page if you're concerned about your credit rating. 

Can I repay my Free Loan early?

You sure can, and you won't be charged any penalty or fees for doing that. We encourage our customers to pay back their loans as fast as they can!

What happens if I miss a payment?

On the first dishonoured payment, we'll send you a text message alerting you to a missed payment. If you contact us immediately and make a manual payment, you won't incur any default fees.

If you don't reply to the text message, we'll continue to try to contact you by text message, phone, and email.

  • Day 1 – 2: Send you a text message alerting you to a missed payment asking you to contact us.
  • Day 3 – 4: Also attempt to contact you by phone and email.
  • Day 5: We'll extend your loan agreement for an additional pay period.

If we extend your loan term, you'll need to pay the interest for the additional pay period/s. Have a look at our Costs page to understand the fees, interest and charges for an extension and the dishonoured payment fee.

What happens if I stop payment of my free loan?

Our staff will attempt to contact you to discuss your situation and try to assist you in any way possible.

  • Week 1: Attempt to contact you by email, phone, and text.
  • Week 2: Attempt to contact you through your alternative contacts and work (if applicable).
  • Week 3 onwards: Continue to attempt contact until the loan reaches 'under collection' status. This occurs when the interest and fees are equal to the original loan value. Once the loan is placed under collection, the debt is listed with a external debt collection agency.

Do you do a credit check?

Yes. As part of our responsible lending policy, we check the credit history on all new applications. However, we won't decline your application just because of a poor credit score. We discuss any defaults or collections with you first and make our decision based on our discussion, not just your score.

Does the loan have any hidden fees?

We make our fees and rates as transparent as possible. When you take a loan with us, all fees are clearly described in the loan document, and we'll discuss these with you when you're going through the application process. If you'd like more information on our fees, check out our costs page.

How do I repay the loan?

All loan repayments are made by direct debit from your bank account, aligned with your payday. We will work through this with you during the application process.

Can I top up my loan?

You sure can. The My Superloans App tells you when a top-up is available and how much you can walk out with if approved.

Can I repay my loan early?

We encourage our customers to repay their loans early, so you definitely can. The sooner you do, the less interest you pay! 

Can my partner apply for a loan as well?

What happens if I miss a payment?

We will attempt to contact you over two days following the default. If by the third day we have been unable to reach you, or the payment has not been rectified, you will be charged a default fee.

Pawn Loans FAQs

What can I bring in for a pawn loan?

We accept all sorts of things. Check out the most common items here.

What if I have bad credit?

No worries! Since a pawn loan is made against an item of value that you own that we hold until repayment, we aren't concerned with your credit rating.

What's the maximum I can borrow?

It all depends on the condition, age and resale value of the item you're bringing in to pawn.

Can I have more than one Pawn Loan?

There's no limit to the number of pawn loans you can have at any one time.

Can I pay my Pawn Loan off?

We encourage our customers to repay their loans early, so you definitely can. The sooner you do, the less interest you pay! 

When I've repaid my Pawn Loan, can I come back for another Pawn Loan?

Absolutely. You can bring an item in for a pawn loan at any time. If you bring back an item you've pawned previously, the loan will only take a few minutes.

Will my item be sold if I don’t repay my loan?

Yes, but this is the last resort. We'll contact you leading up to and when the contract expires. But if we don't hear back from you, we’ll auction the item to recover our costs.

Are my goods safe while held in your branches?

Absolutely. We take good care of your items, and we take security seriously. Your goods are safe here.

Can I bring in more than one item?

Absolutely. That's a good option as it gives you and us more flexibility over loan amounts as one item may be a higher value than the others, or, we can do multiple loans for you at once.

What happens if I can't pay to redeem my item but still want to get it back?

No problem. You can extend the contract for a month by paying the interest for that month by simply jumping on the My Superloans app, and following the instructions or come into the store and one of our staff will help you out.

  • Insurance documents.

Refer Rewards FAQs

How does Refer Rewards work?

Simply refer your friends and family to us, and if we approve their loan, It's a win-win, they get with a free loan with no interest or hidden fees, and you receive a cash reward. It's that easy.

What's the catch?

There are no catches, but so everyone is on the same page there are some terms and conditions.

How much do I receive?

You will receive $50 cash if the person you referred is approved for an Express Loan and $20 if they do a Pawn Loan.

How is the reward paid?

We will hand you cash over the counter. 

When is the reward paid?

It depends on the person you are referring and their credit history. If their history isn't the best, you will need to wait until they have paid their first loan off to receive the cash. If their history is ok, we can give you the cash on the spot, after they have been approved for their loan.

What happens if the person I referred doesn't pay back the loan?

For rewards that were going to be paid at the completion of the loan, you will forfeit the reward and possibly be excluded from the Refer Rewards scheme.

What happens if their loan is not approved?

We only give Refer Rewards cash when the referred person is approved for and takes a loan. If you referred someone and they did not get approved, then you're not eligible for Refer Rewards cash, sorry.

Which loan does this apply to?

Refer Rewards applies to all loan types, the Free Loan, Express Loans and Pawn Loans.

Is there a minimum loan amount for the Refer Reward?

Yes, the minimum loan amount for a Pawn Loan is $100 and $200 for the Express Loan.

Repair your credit with Superscore

Superscore is our in-house credit scoring system, giving you larger loans at lower interest rates over time - plus it helps you to repair your credit history.

How does Superscore work?

Each time you make a repayment toward your Express Loan, you’ll get Superscore points. Over time, your Superscore increases, giving you access to larger loans at lower interest rates. Best of all though, each Express Loan repayment you make will help you repair your bad credit history.

What this means for you

This means when you’re making repayments on your Express Loan with us, you’re not only improving your Superscore, but you’re also repairing your credit rating, making it easier for you to eventually use credit services from other places.

Repairs your credit rating

Every two weeks, we send positive credit reporting to Centrix (they hold credit rating information for you), showing that you’re making repayments and proving you’re meeting our credit terms.
