  • About us :

    At MTF, our mission is to help New Zealanders get ahead by making lending about people again . We’re New Zealand’s money experts with locals helping locals all over the motu, powered by a world-class

    funding system.

    100% New Zealand owned and operated since 1970, MTF provides personal and business loans to Kiwis old and new through our nationwide network of over 200 franchised offices, vehicle dealers, and business partners. We’ve grown to be one of New Zealand’s iconic household-name brands, with business assets of more than $1B.

    There is a strong sense of pride in the work we do. We have a fervent love for our Dunedin heritage, but we’re a national business and a team that reaches communities and customers right across New Zealand.

    When you join MTF, you join a dynamic, innovative, and highly trusted team. Whether you join our National Office, or one of our franchises, you’re joining a team that shares a deep passion for the communities we serve and doing the best for our customers, while also having an unwavering commitment to help our own people learn, grow, and thrive.

    Did you know?

    Studies show women and people from diverse backgrounds may not apply for jobs if they don't tick every box on the job advertisement.

    If you're keen on any role at MTF but feel like you're not a 100% match, don’t worry! We still want to see your unique spark, so go ahead and apply. We appreciate varied perspectives and believe every individual brings something special to our team. In a nutshell - we want you to work here because you’re you!

    Our recruitment process is fair and inclusive and just like most things in life, a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t fit most. We think that approach is 'meh' anyway. If you need any special arrangements or a little extra support during your journey with us, that’s okay – just let us know either in your application or when you’re chatting with one of our lovely People and Capability team members.

    We can’t wait to hear from you.

    Candidates must possess a New Zealand Driver Licence and the legal right to full-time work in New Zealand. Any offer of employment is subject to clear reference checks, credit reporting and police record checks. Be advised that only those candidates shortlisted will be contacted.
