The Core Finance Story
Proudly family owned since 2008, Core Finance is run by husband and wife team Grant and Alyson, who provide personalised, flexible second mortgage solutions across New Zealand. Bringing deep insight to the local credit market, we look beyond the numbers to value the individual story behind every single application. Operating as a private boutique lender allows us to craft bespoke loans and deliver rapid, common sense decisions without the red tape.
We specialise in supporting Kiwis and local businesses that have been overlooked by traditional banks, unlocking equity to fuel growth and provide long term financial stability. Reach out to Core Finance for tailored lending built on direct relationships and reliable broker support. We are dedicated to finding a way to say yes, ensuring the borrowing journey is smooth, efficient, and genuinely supportive for every client we serve.
