Getting support for Cyclone Gabrielle and the Auckland floods

February 20, 2023

Our thoughts are with those who have been impacted by the recent disasters here in Aotearoa New Zealand.

We know a lot of people are experiencing expense shock as a result and may become more vulnerable to high-cost lending and unmanageable debt. 

Before going to a high-cost lender, it’s important to check what other options are available to you.

If you have been impacted by these disasters and need urgent financial help, there are a range of Government grants and supports that have been designed to meet urgent and immediate needs.

There are also a range of community services you can access for financial help or fair and affordable credit – including our no interest Good Loans. 

We have listed a few supports below.
