Since 1989, Avanti has helped thousands of New Zealanders by providing finance to buy a car, pay a bill, buy a home or grow a business. Our customers come from around Aotearoa, from all walks of life, with different ages, incomes, gender and ethnicity.
At Avanti we live and breathe our values.
We put people first and treat everyone we deal with as individuals with unique circumstances, because we know that sometimes “life happens”.
We are relentlessly helpful in everything we do. And we believe that we’re not just here to support our customer’s finances but provide them with tools to support their lives. We know our stuff and do our best.
We do what’s right too, holding ourselves to the highest ethical standards. This is a responsibility we take very seriously.
Avanti is committed to our sustainability frameworks, volunteering and active participation in the community.
