Westpac is known for its established and trustworthy services, not only in New Zealand but also in Australia. Obtaining a home, personal or business loan is simple and hassle-free, especially for existing account holders.

Flexible repayment options

There are two types of business term rates with Westpac - floating and fixed rate where they get to choose three repayment options.

Table loan - choose to spread repayments evenly over the term of the loan to avoid late repayments.
Reducing loan - request to reduce repayments over the loan in case of insufficient funds.
Interest only - pay off the interest first until the interest-only period expires.

Apply for general business

For those looking for a loan solely for business or investment purposes, Westpac Business Loans provide a simple online application process offering loan amounts ranging from $50,000 to $1,000,000, provided that the applicant is registered with the Companies Office and is working as a lone trader or director on behalf of the business.

Apply for agribusiness

Westpac offers agribusiness managers for borrowers who are in the dairy, sheep and beef, arable, horticulture and other agribusiness sectors in NZ.

This intends to give entrepreneurs in this field to navigate their finances and find which type of business loan could work best for them.

Westpac Business Loans - Interest Rates & Terms

Floating Rate

Choosing a floating rate allows entrepreneurs more leeway in repaying their loan as the market changes. If interest rates fall, they can use the remaining funds to make an extra payment, which is not subject to a penalty under a floating rate plan with minimum prepayment amounts of $10,000.

Fixed Rate

Selecting a fixed rate provides borrowers with certainty, which allows them to budget because knowing the exact payment amount simplifies financial planning. This can work for well-established businesses that can make on-time payments for up to 12 months.

*edit - turns out the providers are all upgrading and the glimp site is more up to date* Both the highlighted deals i clicked through to get turned out to be inaccurate speeds. Glimp saying 300/100 both providers only offering 100/20 for the price given, despite giving the same address in both sites. still giving 3 stars though as regardless the deals through Glimp are better than the standard advertised deals on the providers site.

Sign up didn't go quite the way it was meant to. But Kate called and she walked through everything so we could work out what went wrong. she was patient, friendly, supportive and kept me calm to finally get plan registration sorted ( still can't log in though - she must be magic )
