Branded Financial Services

About BFS

Branded Financial Services (BFS) is part of the Avanti Finance Group and is a respected provider of vehicle finance solutions across New Zealand and Australia.

Established in 2011, BFS was a captive vehicle financier providing branded retail and wholesale floorplan solutions to dealers and distribution partners. Acquired by Avanti Finance in 2019, BFS bolstered its capabilities and solidified its position as a leader in the industry. In November 2024 Branded Financial Services (NZ) Limited (BFS NZ) was amalgamated with Avanti Finance Limited – so while the brand still exists, Avanti is the lender and manager for all BFS NZ loans.

With a dedicated network of sales professionals and offices in both New Zealand and Australia, BFS specialises in financing a diverse range of vehicles for individuals and businesses. Our strong partnerships with dealers, brokers, aggregators, and OEMs ensure that we provide financial solutions that meet the needs of customers.

Committed to facilitating dreams and enabling journeys, we live by our values of being relentlessly helpful, doing what’s right and putting people first.

Our authorised dealers

Through our dealer relationships across New Zealand, we can assist with financing for any brand of vehicle. The expertise, passion and professionalism of our authorised dealer network will ensure that financing your vehicle is as enjoyable as driving it.

Our BFS products

Consumer Loan

Our Consumer Credit loan is ideal for vehicles primarily used for personal or domestic purposes. It offers convenience and flexibility with tailored affordability assessments that are quick and straightforward. Key benefits include:

  • A personally tailored loan with terms ranging from 1 to 7 years.
  • Fixed regular repayments at competitive interest rates, protecting against interest rate fluctuations.
  • Flexible payment options.
  • The option to include a final balloon payment, allowing you to have more control over your monthly payments.
  • Financing available for all vehicle brands.

You’re protected by responsible lending laws. Because of these protections, the recommendations given to you about consumer loans are not regulated financial advice. This means that duties and requirements imposed on people who give financial advice do not apply to these recommendations. This includes a duty to comply with a code of conduct and a requirement to be licensed.

Business Loan

Our Business Credit loan allows for the delayed transfer of full legal ownership of the vehicle until the end of the finance term, providing immediate benefits, typically only available to vehicles that are owned by the business. Key features include:

  • Certainty of a fixed interest rate over terms of up to 7 years
  • Flexibility to include on-road costs, extended warranty, insurance, and roadside assistance
  • The ability for business customers to claim GST Input Tax Credits and offset vehicle depreciation, interest charges, and running costs against assessable income.

Quick, no fuss and reasonable. We've been working with Avanti for 18 months and have enjoyed an excellent relationship during this time. The products have enabled us to grow and expand our business.
David – Car dealer
Outstanding and professional, the team listened to our needs and understood our problems when banks wouldn't. Much appreciated and will certainly be recommended to all other business contacts.
John
Very quick service. We've used them before so the process was very simple. Anyone looking for an injection of cash flow - well worth it.
Rad
I needed funds to help my son relocate and Avanti were the best. Down the track I lost my job, but the insurance protection came in, and whilst there were arrears, when I regained employment Avanti quickly found a solution. Magic people.
Peter
We needed some emergency funds on an overseas trip. Due to a cancelled flight my husband was away from my daughter and I in two separate European countries, and the quick loan helped us get back home during that extremely stressful period.
Katherine
Avanti was the only place willing to give me the loan I needed to be able to finish my final years of study.

Avanti Finance helped us get a car to fit our whole family. We love our 7 seater to fit our 4 boys!
Angela
A company that goes above and beyond and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing finance. I have had pleasant people over the phone and also very fast replies via email. Impressed.
