From the founder
“I started Tillen Finance because I got tired of seeing good people walk away from car yards with the wrong loan, the wrong rate, or no loan at all. Most applicants don’t realise their bank or dealer represents one lender. We represent a panel.”
Tyler Newman · Founder
What makes us different
Three things you’ll feel from the first call.
Independent, not aligned
We work for you, not the bank or the dealer. Our job is to find your best option, not push the lender that pays us most.
One form, all lenders
Stop filling out the same application for every bank. We run your situation past our specialist lender panel in one pass and bring back the answers.
Real human, no call centre
Tyler picks up the phone himself. No scripts, no offshore queue, no being passed around. Just a broker who actually knows your file.
Who we help
Built for the borrowers banks pass on.
From a first car to a weekend bike, we arrange finance from $5,000 to $150,000 for everyday New Zealanders. If your situation does not fit a tidy salary slip, that is exactly where a broker earns their keep.
First-time buyers
You want honest guidance, not a hard sell on the dealer’s in-house finance.
Self-employed and contractors
You’ve been knocked back by the banks for not fitting the salary-slip mould.
Rebuilding credit
You’ve had a setback and want a lender who looks at the whole picture.
Riders
You want a broker who actually understands bikes and the lenders that fund them.
In a hurry
You need finance sorted in under a day so you don’t lose the vehicle you’ve found.
New to New Zealand
You’ve recently arrived and have a thin local credit file. We work with lenders who look past that.
