How to apply for a loan from Teensy

Before applying for a Teensy loan, carefully consider the amount you want to borrow and the associated interest rate and loan term. You should also make sure that you meet the eligibility requirements and have the appropriate documentation.

Teensy will use your income, weekly expenses and credit history to calculate how much you can borrow, and if you are applying for a personal loan, your interest rate.

Eligibility requirements

• Be at least 22 years of age
• Be a New Zealand citizen or be a permanent resident (for cash and payday loans)
• Be in full-time employment or receive a full time benefit
• Have a minimum income of $500 per week, after tax
• You can comfortably afford repayments after deducting your living costs from your income.

Anyone that is self-employed or who has their main income coming from IRD or Student Allowance is not eligible for a payday or personal loan.

Information and documentation

When you apply, you will need to provide your personal information and how much you want to borrow. You can upload a copy of your valid photo ID such as a New Zealand Driver’s Licence or passport to verify your identity.

You will also need to verify your income so that Teensy can confirm that you have the ability to pay back your loan. This is done by securely sharing your internet banking so that Teensy can view your accounts.
