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 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.
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.
Express Loan FAQs
Do I qualify?
If you can answer yes to all of these questions, then chances are you qualify.
Can I get a loan if I have bad credit?
If you have had issues with your credit in the past, you may still be approved for a loan. We look at your current ability to repay a loan, not what happened in the past.
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. There is just a $19 early repayment fee and you only pay the interest up to the date of the repayment.
Can my partner apply for a loan as well?
Your partner would also need to meet our criteria, but as long as they do, they're welcome to apply.
Which benefits do you accept as income?
We can do loans for people on the following benefits:
I can't afford the repayment, what can I do?
If you think you're unable to make your repayment, you need to get in touch with us as soon as possible. We have different options to help you, depending on your situation.
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.

Build a Superscore
Superloans’ Superscore rewards you in more ways than one - Larger loans, lower interest rates and an improved credit rating outside of Superloans
Each time you make a repayment toward your Express Loan, you’ll get Superscore points. Over time, your Superscore will increase, giving you access to lower interest rates on future loans and higher credit limits. Best of all though, each repayment you make will help you repair your bad credit history.
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.
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 outside of Superloans, making it easier for you to eventually use credit services from other places.
