Helping you reach your goals is what gets us excited

Let us help you get ahead

At Family Finance, you’re not just another loan. You’re an individual or small business owner with big dreams and we’re here to support you. We’re your financial partners, adding a sprinkle of humour and a whole lot of friendliness to your financial journey.

Lending decisions are made in Kaitaia at a local level – a lot of the red tape required by larger lending institutions is not required by us which means we are happy to keep an open mind to any lending proposal and credit score.

Our story

Family Finance started in 1976 as a Northland finance company when Brian and Rosemary Archibald missed their first house purchase by just 30 minutes. With the deposit they could no longer use, they began financing purchases for Kaitaia locals.

Since then, we have helped more than 400 Northland families get ahead, with more than 1,500 loans processed. In 2008 we were the proud recipient of the Top Energy Tall Poppy Award and were a finalist in the Northland Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards.

Today, Family Finance is still family owned and managed by the founders, alongside the next generation, Tom Archibald. This Northland finance company has grown and evolved, but the core values from back in the day still stand: Local, friendly, easy finance solutions for the people of Northland.

Meet the family

Our team provides personalised support to find the best solution, and we ensure that your loan is manageable and fits easily into your life.
