We’re unlike any other bank or financial institution you’ve ever experienced

We might not be the size of a high street bank, but we have a huge amount of experience and our own money to lend.

But of course we don’t lend to anyone – that money still needs to be paid back. We just look at people differently. We take time to hear about your personal situation. Then we base our decisions on what you can afford and what you can secure the loan against, not on what a computer tells us to say.

100% NZ owned and operated since 2003

Founded by Dave in 2003, we’re a finance company built on people and not computers. Following a successful international career, Dave wanted to come home to New Zealand and do something different.

Dave had already decided some things just weren’t fair. Why was it that banks stuck so rigidly to their lending guidelines and forgot that they were talking to people facing their own individual situations? How was it that people who usually pay their loans back on time were often turned away?

Admiral Finance is different. Our team are experts, not only in the financial industry, but also in how to listen to, and help, our customers. We’re also NZ locals – based right here in Christchurch – so we understand the demands that our customers are facing right now.
