New Zealand's pNew Zealand's public health system covers a lot, but not everything. Specialist consultations, elective procedures, dental treatment, fertility support, cosmetic surgery, and rehabilitation all fall outside public coverage, and the costs can add up quickly.
Many procedures are partially covered by Southern Cross or other health insurance. A personal loan can cover the gap between what your insurer pays out and the actual cost, so you're not waiting on treatment while you find the funds.
When health costs come up, a personal loan through Nomu lets you access the care you need and spread the cost over a term that works for your budget.

Yes. A personal loan is not restricted to NZ providers. Funds are paid to your nominated account, so you can use them to pay for treatment overseas, along with flights and accommodation. Many NZ patients travel to Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, or the Philippines for significant dental work at substantially lower cost than in NZ.
