What if I have personal loan feedback or a complaint?
The reasons for getting a personal loan are varied. For some it could be due to financial pressures, for others it can be the best option for purchasing a car required to get to work, or much needed house repairs. No matter your reasons for getting a personal loan, we know that everyone can have very different experiences during the application and approval process too.
The Nectar team is motivated to provide the very best customer service to our customers, and our customer feedback reflects that. What’s more, we want to set our customers up for success. This year we’ve been sharing articles about setting budgets, having financial goals in place, and truly understanding the concept of personal finance. Sensible financial habits can set us and our families up for life, and we’re committed to seeing our customers succeed.
First things first, we’ve created a useful article on whether you need a personal loan. Once you’ve assessed that a personal loan is the type of lending you require, and you’ve done your research to choose your lender, it’s time to get under way with applying for your personal loan. What if you have feedback along the way? Regardless of whether you have been approved or not, you may also be in the unfortunate position of wanting to make a complaint.
What is the personal loan feedback or complaint process?
Rest assured that Nectar has an external complaints process set up for handling complaints. All New Zealand Financial Service Providers are required by law to have a complaints process in place.
