Important note
These Terms cover Finley app and account use only (including card use). They do not provide you with any credit.
We will only provide credit to you through the Finley App if we separately agree to do so. The terms of that credit will be set out in separate credit documents, which may be provided to you (and where applicable, agreed to) through the Finley App after you complete the applicable credit application process.
Key points
The important things in plain English. This summary is not part of the legal agreement, but nothing in the terms below should surprise you after reading it.
- Who you're dealing with
- Finley is a product provided by Pioneer Finance Limited (trading as Finley), a licensed consumer credit provider and registered financial service provider (FSP2861), of 106/100 Parnell Road, Parnell, Auckland 1052.
- Who can use it
- You must be 18 or over, a New Zealand resident with a New Zealand address, bank account and mobile number, and you must pass our identity checks.
- What the app does
- Finley is a primarily digital service available through a mobile application, website, online account portal, and related features, content and services. It lets you apply for credit and (if approved by us) manage your credit arrangements with us, view Statements and credit information, request available credit products, switch how a purchase is paid by you with Finley credit, spend with your Finley card, transfer money to or from your Finley account, make or arrange credit repayments, and communicate with us.
- What these Terms cover
- These Terms cover use of all Finley services, including availability, access, security, privacy and operational features. They do not cover any credit terms but include general terms of use for a Finley card and how Finley may be used for your Finley account and credit products.
- Credit terms are separate agreement
- Downloading or using the Finley app or any other Finley service does not provide you with any credit but you may use Finley to request credit from us (and if credit is approved by us, to manage your credit account). We will only provide credit through Finley if we separately agree to do so. If we agree to provide credit, the terms of that agreement, including your approved credit limit and other applicable credit terms, will be set out in a separate credit contract and disclosure statement provided to you through Finley. Those credit documents are referred to in these Terms as your Finley Master Customer Agreement or MCA and will need to be accepted by you before any credit will be made available to you through Finley.
- Costs
- There is no fee for you to have or use the Finley app or Finley services generally but there may be specified costs for specific add-on features or services that you can separately request (which are not automatically part of Finley but may be separately agreed by you). There may also be specified fees, interest and costs payable for certain credit products provided through Finley, as set out in your Finley Master Customer Agreement.
- Keeping it secure
- Keep your login details, PIN, passcode, biometrics and device secure. Tell us immediately if any of your details or device is lost, stolen or compromised or used without authority.

3. What these Terms cover - and what they don't
3.1These Terms govern your access to, operation and use of the Finley App. They are not a credit contract and do not provide you with any credit or set out any credit terms. Downloading or using the Finley App does not provide you with any credit but you may use Finley to request credit from us (and if credit is approved by us, to manage your credit account). We will only provide credit through the Finley App if we separately agree to do so (at our discretion). If we agree to provide credit, the terms of that agreement, including your approved credit limit and other applicable credit terms, will be set out in separate credit documents provided to you through Finley after you complete the applicable credit application process. Those credit documents need to be separately accepted by you before any credit will be made available through Finley, as further set out below.
3.2If you are approved for a credit product through Finley, that credit arrangement is governed by your MCA, which includes the General Terms for Finley Credit and each Disclosure Statement for a Finley Product. These are separate credit documents we will provide to you and which you must accept before any credit will be available to you through Finley. The MCA sets out the credit-related terms of your Finley Account and Finley Products (as defined in the MCA), including your credit limit, interest, fees, payments, security, default rights, cancellation rights and hardship rights, and will prevail over these Terms and all other terms relevant to Finley to the extent of any inconsistency. Separate terms of use for the Finley Card (Finley Card Terms) may also be provided to you via the Finley App and must be accepted by you on or prior to your Finley Card being issued. If there is any inconsistency between any part of the MCA, these Terms or any other relevant documents relating to use of Finley or your Finley account, the documents will prevail in the order of priority set out below:
| Document | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Disclosure Statement | This sets out specific credit details (including interest rate, payments, term, fees and other key information) for any Finley credit product available through Finley. |
| Finley Master Customer Agreement (MCA) (your credit contract with us) | This is the credit contract governing your Finley Account and all Finley credit products, which includes the General Terms for Finley Credit and each relevant Disclosure Statement for a specific Finley credit product. |
| Finley Card Terms | This sets out specific terms regarding use of the Finley Card, digital wallet provisioning, disputed transactions and chargebacks, including any relevant third party provider requirements for a Finley Card issued by them. |
| These App Terms | This sets out terms of use for Finley, including security, privacy, instructions and operational features for Finley and your general account and card access and use. |
| Privacy Statement | This sets out detail regarding how we collect, use, store and disclose personal information |
| Website Terms | These set out any specific website terms of use for our websites. |
3.3Nothing in these Terms reduces any right you have that cannot be excluded under New Zealand law, including under the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act 2003 (CCCFA), the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (FMCA), the Fair Trading Act 1986 (FTA), the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (CGA), or the Privacy Act 2020 (Privacy Act).
4. Use of the Finley App for your Finley account and credit products
4.1Finley is a primarily digital service available through a mobile application, website, online account portal, and related features, content and services. It lets you apply for credit and (if approved by us) manage your credit arrangements with us, view Finley account statements, balances and other credit information, request available credit products and/or changes to your credit terms, switch how a purchase is paid by you with Finley credit, spend with your Finley card, transfer money to or from your Finley account, make or arrange credit repayments, manage other features of your Finley account, and communicate with us.
4.2Any request made through the Finley App is subject to approval under the MCA and is not accepted merely because it is submitted or displayed in the Finley App. Approval of any request is not guaranteed and is subject to our lending criteria and any conditions we consider appropriate. Being able to open or use the Finley App or complete an application for credit via the Finley App does not mean you will be approved for any request you make using the Finley App. Any credit information shown before approval is indicative only, is not binding and does not take effect until confirmed by both you and us. Before you confirm a request for a Finley Product or any change to an existing Finley Product, the Finley App will show the available option and provide or link to the applicable Disclosure Statement and any other relevant information required under the MCA or by law for you to accept.
4.3Information displayed in the Finley App at any time, including balances, available credit, payments, interest, fees and transactions, may not always be updated in real time. Your Statements and the MCA determine the amount owing and your payment obligations. Contact us promptly if you believe information shown in the Finley App is incorrect.
4.4Finley is available for personal, domestic or household purposes only as set out in these Terms and the MCA, and must not be used for business purposes, gambling, cryptocurrency purchases, or any unlawful or unauthorised purpose.
5. Finley App features and services
5.1Provision of the Finley App and related services: We will use reasonable care and skill in providing the Finley App and the related features, content and services made available through it. The features available to you may depend on your device, operating system, location, eligibility, the status of your Finley Account and Finley Products, and services provided by third parties. While we will endeavour to provide correct, accurate and reliable information through Finley, the information set out in Finley at any specific time, including balances, available credit, payment information, interest, fees, charges and transaction information, may not always be shown in real time. You should contact us promptly if you believe any information shown in Finley is incorrect.
5.2Third-party services: Some Finley features rely on third-party services, including app stores, device operating systems, telecommunications networks, banks, payment providers, card schemes, identity verification providers and other service providers. Their services may be subject to separate terms and may be changed, suspended or withdrawn by them. We are responsible for our selection and management of providers acting on our behalf, but we do not control, or guarantee the availability or performance of, services provided independently by third parties.
5.3Availability and interruptions: We do not guarantee that Finley or every component or feature of Finley will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or error-free. Access may be interrupted by maintenance, updates, technical faults, security incidents, third-party outages or events outside our reasonable control. We will take reasonable steps to minimise disruption, restore affected services and notify you of material planned interruptions where reasonably practicable.
5.4Updates and compatibility: We may release updates, patches or new versions of the Finley app or other parts of the Service to maintain security, fix faults, comply with law or improve or change the Service. You must install required updates within a reasonable time and use a supported device and operating system. If you do not, some features may not operate correctly or may no longer be available. We will give reasonable notice before ending support for a device or operating system where reasonably practicable. We may update, change, suspend, restrict or withdraw all or part of Finley features or use of the Finley Card at any time, including for maintenance, security, operational, legal or regulatory reasons. We are not required to provide Finley or the Finley Card continuously or without interruption.
5.5Information and outputs: Information displayed or generated by Finley may be based on information supplied by you or third parties and may be delayed, incomplete or subject to processing. Except for information that forms part of a Disclosure Statement under the CCCFA or other document that is binding under the MCA or applicable law, information displayed through Finley is provided for general account-management purposes only and does not constitute financial, legal, tax or other professional advice. You should check important information before relying on any such information and contact us if you identify an error.
5.6Warranties: To the maximum extent permitted by law, and subject to clause 3.3 and clause 21.1, we do not give any warranty or representation that Finley or any related services will be continuously available, free from all faults, vulnerabilities or harmful code, compatible with every device or third-party service, or suitable for every purpose you may have. All warranties, guarantees, conditions or representations (other than any guarantee, right or remedy under the CGA, FTA or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified) that are not expressly stated in these Terms are expressly excluded to the maximum extent permitted by law. To avoid doubt, nothing in this clause excludes, restricts or modifies any guarantee, right or remedy under the CGA, FTA or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.
6. Using Finley to make payments (including through Finley Card)
6.1Finley Card issue: If approved by us, we may issue you a Finley Card, as a virtual card provisioned to a digital wallet, a physical card, or both. The Finley Card remains our property (or the property of the card issuer) at all times and must be promptly returned to us (or at our election destroyed) on request.
6.2Finley Card Terms: If we approve and issue you a Finley Card, use of that Finley Card is subject to these Terms and any separate Finley Card Terms provided to you, including any terms and conditions required by a card issuer such as Change Labs New Zealand Pty Ltd or Mastercard International Incorporated for use of a prepaid Mastercard®, as notified to you by us. Your permitted use of a Finley Card is subject to you agreeing to such terms of use. You must accept the Finley Card Terms before the Finley Card is issued or made available for use. The Finley Card Terms form part of the terms applying to your Finley account and are to be read together with these Terms and the MCA. The Finley Card Terms govern the specific terms of issue and use of the Finley Card, including card activation, permitted use, digital wallet provisioning, transaction authorisation, security, lost or stolen cards, disputed and unauthorised transactions, chargebacks, suspension, cancellation and any applicable card scheme requirements. If there is any inconsistency, the order of priority in clause 3.2 applies.
6.3Authorising transactions: You may authorise a transaction through Finley when you tap, insert or swipe your Finley Card as set out in the Finley Card Terms, enter your PIN or Finley Card details when required (as set out in the Finley Card Terms), authenticate the payment transaction with a passcode or biometric, or otherwise confirm a payment in the Finley App. Once authorised, a transaction made with Finley generally cannot be stopped. All transactions made using a Finley Card are subject to the Finley Card Terms and to be authorised in accordance with those terms.
6.4Available funds: Transactions will be declined if you do not have sufficient available credit or funds, if the merchant or transaction type is not supported, or if we have suspended your Finley account in accordance with these Terms or your MCA. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from a declined transaction.
6.5Account-to-account (A2A) transfers: Finley may allow you to make an account-to-account payment initiated from the Finley App directly from or to a New Zealand bank account. Where you use the Finley App to transfer money to a New Zealand bank account, you are responsible for entering the correct account number or mobile number and other account details. Payments made to an incorrect account may not be recoverable. We will use reasonable efforts to help you recover a misdirected payment when reasonably requested by you but cannot guarantee recovery.
6.6Purchases, and refunds and disputes with merchants: You can use Finley for the purchase of Goods from any participating stores and sites authorised by us from time to time as permitted under the MCA. You must comply with any rules we set from time to time about use of Finley to purchase Goods (e.g. providing ID when making an in-store purchase). Participating stores and sites that accept payment through Finley are independent from us unless we expressly tell you otherwise. They are not authorised to act for us, change these Terms, or the terms of your MCA, or make any statement or representation on our behalf unless we have confirmed this in writing. If you have a problem or any issue with something you paid for through Finley, contact the merchant or relevant supplier first in relation to the issue. If the merchant or relevant supplier agrees to refund any amount through Finley, the refund from them will be credited to your Finley account when we receive it.
6.7Chargebacks: You may be able to dispute a card transaction through the card scheme chargeback process as set out in your Finley Card Terms. Contact us as soon as you become aware of the disputed transaction or issue. Chargeback rights are subject to card scheme rules and strict time limits as set out in the applicable Finley Card Terms.
7. Bank account information
7.1When you apply for or use Finley and any related products or services, we may ask you to provide bank statements or authorise an accredited requester to share your bank statements with us.

8. Biometric information
8.1We may ask you to provide biometric information for you to use the Finley App, including as part of any credit application process and before we agree to provide you with any Finley credit products.

10.2Rewards offered through Finley are earned on eligible transactions only in accordance with the relevant offer terms and your MCA (if applicable). They will not be earned on any transactions through Finley that are cash advances, funds transfers, fees, interest, or any transactions that are refunded or later reversed for any reason.
10.3Rewards offered through Finley have no cash value except as we specify, may be credited to your Finley account, and cannot be transferred or sold.

(a)keep your passcode, PIN, password and security codes for the Finley App secret, and not record them anywhere they could be linked to the Finley App or your Finley Card or account;
(b)only register your own biometrics on a device you use for Finley - if anyone else's fingerprint or face is registered on that device, they may be able to access your Finley account and you will be responsible for that access and for anything done by them through Finley as if it were done by you;

13.3You can withdraw your consent to electronic disclosure at any time by contacting us.
13.4You authorise us to send commercial, marketing and promotional communications to you through Finley (including with any statements or legal documents provided to you under these Terms or your MCA from time to time), about offers, services and products provided by us or which are otherwise available through Finley. You can turn off marketing messages at any time in the Finley App or via the unsubscribe link.
14. Availability, changes and support
14.1We aim to keep Finley available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Finley may be unavailable during planned maintenance, or because of faults, third-party outages, or events outside our reasonable control.
14.2We will give reasonable notice of planned maintenance where we can, and we will tell you if an outage affects your ability to make a payment that is due. If an outage we are responsible for causes you to miss a payment, we will not charge you a default fee or report a default for that payment.
14.3We may add, change, suspend or remove features. If a change materially reduces a benefit you rely on, we will give you reasonable notice.
14.4You are responsible for your device, your internet or mobile data connection, and any costs your provider charges. Some features require a current operating system version, and we may stop supporting older versions on reasonable notice.

(d)indirect or consequential loss, or loss of profit, revenue, data, or business opportunity.
21.3Subject to clause 21.1, the maximum aggregate amount of our liability to you under or in connection with these Terms or the MCA or use of Finley or any Finley account, whether under contract, tort (including negligence), equity, statute or otherwise, will not exceed the amount paid by you to us under or in relation to these Terms and the MCA. We are not liable in any circumstance whatsoever, whether under contract, tort (including negligence), equity, statute or otherwise, for any indirect, special or consequential loss or damage or any loss of profits, revenue or business arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the MCA or use of Finley or any Finley account.
21.4You are responsible for any loss we suffer as a result of your fraud or your deliberate or reckless breach of these Terms.
22. General
22.1Governing law. These Terms are governed by New Zealand law and you and we submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts.
22.2Assignment. We may transfer or assign our rights and obligations, including as part of a securitisation or sale of our business, without your consent, provided your rights are not materially prejudiced. You may not transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms.
22.3Severability. If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, that will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other clause in this Terms. If any clause of these Terms is unenforceable because it is declared to be an unfair contract term under the FTA, then the relevant provision shall at our election not be severed but shall be deemed to be amended as we reasonably determine appropriate to prevent it from being an unfair contract term.
22.4No waiver. If we do not enforce a right immediately, we do not lose it. No failure or delay by us in insisting on the strict performance of these Terms or to exercise any right under these Terms will operate as a waiver of those matters. A waiver will not be effective unless it is in writing. A waiver of any breach will not be a waiver of any other breach.
22.5Entire agreement. These Terms, with the documents listed in clause 3.2, form the entire agreement between you and us about your use of Finley.
22.6Survival. Clauses 5, 12, 16.4, 17, 18, 19, 21 and 22 survive the termination or expiry of these Terms or use of the Finley App and closure of your account.
