Non-Banks and Other Financial Institutions in New Zealand industry analysis

Non-banks and other financial institutions’ assets have grown relatively steadily over the past few years, but revenue has fluctuated considerably. Despite the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ), or Te Putea Matua, easing loan-to-value ratio (LVR) lending restrictions from June 2023, major banks still grappled with high LVR lending restrictions and tight lending standards. As a result, households are turning to non-bank lenders for finance. Previously, official cash rates (OCR) were kept low, which curbed non-banks’ expansion. However, to combat inflation, the RBNZ raised the OCR to a rate not seen since October 2008. Consequently, non-bank lenders were able to expand their loan portfolios by increasing their interest expenses and capitalising on higher net interest margins. Revenue is expected to rise at an annualised 6.7% to $1.26 billion over the five years through 2023-24.

Trends and Insights

  • Cash rate increases to combat inflation have allowed non-bank lenders to raise their net interest margins and profitability. Non-bank deposit-taking institutions are in an advantageous position as they have additional finance avenues, like deposits.
  • Economic uncertainty and increased borrowing costs have resulted in a decline in personal lending. As consumers become more conscious about debt, they favour forms of lending with less costs, like pay later services, rather than traditional loans and credit cards.
  • Lenders and financiers can use their presence in the Canterbury region as a staging ground for New Zealand’s South Island. They can also benefit from the concentration of businesses and people in Christchurch.
  • International giants are contributing to market fragmentation. The expansion of firms like Revolut into New Zealand is diluting the industry's market concentration, as these firms become key competitors.
