Interest Free Loans and Budgeting Support
Money challenges can affect anyone, but facing them doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Ngā Tāngata Microfinance is a small, non-profit organisation focused on helping financially vulnerable New Zealanders get ahead with money. We provide ethical, interest-free loans that give Kiwis a ‘hand up’, not a ‘hand-out’. Our Mission
is to provide safe, fair and affordable finance options that enable financial inclusion and capability, and challenge structural and economic forms of financial exclusion.
Little Loans
Our Little Loans offer interest-free, fee-free financial support for life’s essentials. Get the help you need now, with guidance to build lasting money confidence. Get financial breathing room today while building confidence for tomorrow.
My Money Kete
My Money Kete is a free money toolkit that helps you understand your spending, plan ahead, and feel more confident with your money. Learn practical ways to stay on top of your finances and reach your goals.
A fairer, kinder approach to money, budgeting and finance management
As a non-profit, we put your best interests first. Whether you’re looking for practical budgeting support or a small loan, our focus is on helping you manage your money without adding stress or pressure.
They’re designed to help you to get on top of your money, so that high interest doesn’t get on top of you. You just pay off the amount of the loan, with absolutely no interest or fees.
Your financial mentor will coach you on how to improve your money skills and help you set up your loan. That way, you’ll feel less stressed and more in control.
Our loans are backed by our financial partner. Kiwibank. Like us, they’re big believers in doing what’s right and helping Kiwis to get ahead financially, so you know you’re in good hands.
We can help you if...
