Pros and cons

Pros

  • Free early repayment, so a personal loan can be cleared ahead of schedule at no extra cost.
  • Eligibility starts with a soft prequalification (soft prequal) and same day funding is listed as a feature (same day funding).
  • A fixed rate on fixed rate lending, with terms of 36 to 84 and borrowing of NZD 2,000 to NZD 100,000.

Cons

  • An establishment fee is added to the amount borrowed and repaid with it, so the total cost sits above the headline rate.
  • The eligibility criteria require a credit file clear of defaults, judgments and bankruptcies, so borrowers with a blemished history are unlikely to be accepted.
  • An offer score of 5.7 places the package in the middle of the field rather than at the top.

Who it suits

  • New Zealand citizens, permanent residents and Australian citizens in paid employment, which may include self-employment.
  • Borrowers funding a home improvement, the stated use for the money.
  • Anyone who wants to clear a personal loan early, since free early repayment is available.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Borrowers outside New Zealand, where Monzo Flex quotes 10% to 23% in another market.
  • Anyone after a very small emergency sum, since the smallest amount offered is the low end of NZD 2,000 to NZD 100,000.
  • Borrowers who want a variable rate, since the rate type is fixed.

Frequently asked questions

What rate does Harmoney charge on a personal loan?+

Personal loan rates run 7.99% to 24.99% and sit on a fixed basis, with fixed pricing on fixed rate loans. The rate offered depends on your credit file, so the range spans stronger and weaker files alike. Early repayment is free on these loans.

What fees does Harmoney charge?+

An establishment fee is added to the amount you borrow and is paid on settlement, so you repay it along with the loan. Set it against personal loan rates of 7.99% to 24.99% and a term of 36 to 84 when you weigh the total cost.

How much can I borrow, and over what term?+

Borrowing runs NZD 2,000 to NZD 100,000 on terms of 36 to 84, and the loans are fixed rate so repayments do not move with the market. Home improvement is the stated use for the money, which suits a planned purchase rather than a quick top-up.

How quickly does Harmoney pay out?+

Most borrowers receive their money within minutes of accepting a loan, and same day funding is listed as a feature (same day funding). Funding this fast suits anyone settling a bill or paying a deposit the same day.

What credit check does Harmoney run?+

Eligibility starts with soft prequal, so a soft prequalification comes ahead of a full credit check. Applicants also need paid employment, photo ID and a credit file clear of defaults, judgments and bankruptcies, which excludes a blemished file.

Can I repay a Harmoney loan early?+

Free early repayment is available, so clearing a personal loan ahead of schedule carries no extra charge. On terms of 36 to 84 with a fixed rate, paying down early can shorten the term and the total interest.

Is Harmoney regulated in New Zealand?+

Harmoney Services Limited is registered in New Zealand and appears on the Financial Service Providers Register under FSP593769. Harmoney is a direct lender, so you apply to the lender rather than through a broker.

What can I use a Harmoney loan for?+

Harmoney covers personal, debt consolidation and car lending, with home improvement as the stated use for the money. Personal loans, debt consolidation, car finance, business and secured borrowing all sit with the same direct lender.
