How we can help SUPPORT you during this time
and where to find the RIGHT ADVICE for your situation.
Like many New Zealand businesses, The Lending Room is adapting quickly as the impact of COVID-19 continues to affect the country. While ensuring the on-going good health and wellness of our loved ones is on top priority right now, money is still high on our list of concerns.
Around 70% of New Zealanders have had their income affected since the Covid-19 pandemic hit the country which means time to conserve money for a lot of families. Most of us will be saving money by default during the 4-week lockdown period, as eating out and shopping trips are firmly off the list of expenditure!
The Lending Room can help you with a personal loan or debt consolidation loan to help you manage your debts and expenses during this difficult time but there are many things you can do to help your budget.
