Excellent service
Had a great experience with MTF Timaru. The staff were friendly, especially Sarah and Ange, who made the whole process easy to understand and stress-free. They helped me secure a loan quickly, and everything was explained clearly with no surprises.
The office is easy to find and they offer a variety of loans. I also appreciated the local, personal service they really took the time to make sure I was comfortable with everything.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend MTF Timaru for anyone looking for a reliable and friendly finance service. They’re professional, quick, and very helpful.

Dodgy online settlement calculator
Used their settlement calculator to close off loan. Paid on same day only for them to want more money. Excuse was that it's not that accurate and should have rung them. Very deceptive. Last time I use them.
