About education loans

One of the best things you can do for your future is to engage in education and training.

But it can be expensive. An education loan can help with the costs associated with education from fees and textbooks to transport and equipment. (It’s worth noting that unlike Government and other specific student loans - such as those offered by StudyLink - a personal loan can’t typically be used to cover living expenses.)

There are various factors you should consider before deciding on an education loan that’s right for you.

Secured education loan

A secured loan requires a personal asset to be offered as security, or collateral. In the case of a borrower not keeping up with payments the lender can repossess their items. This type of loan can offer a low interest rate but carries the risk of losing one’s assets.

Harmoney does not offer secured loans.

Unsecured education loan

In the case of an unsecured loan, security is not required, meaning your assets are safe and cannot be seized by the lender.

At Harmoney we only provide unsecured loans.

Student loan

If you’re studying an approved course run by an approved education provider, you may be eligible for a Government student loan in New Zealand. These are designed to cover course fees, course-related costs and living costs. Interest payments are generally lower than for a personal loan, but so are borrowing limits.

See a list of approved courses here.

Fixed or variable rate?

An important factor of any study loan is whether the interest rate is fixed or variable.

A fixed rate remains constant throughout the term of your loan, regardless of what is happening in the marketplace. You’ll always know what you’re paying. Whereas a variable interest rate will fluctuate, meaning it could go higher or lower than what you begin with, meaning your payments could change from month to month.

Education loans from Harmoney are always fixed rate, giving our borrowers confidence and certainty in their loan.

Focus on your future

Stop worrying today. Focus on the important stuff by applying for a study loan.
