FAQs

Who are Bigswitch.co.nz?

Group discounting sites like Groupon in the US and 1day.co.nz in New Zealand have changed the way we shop. Bigswitch.co.nz are the first in NZ to use the power of group discounting in the personal loan and insurance arena. 

I’ve never heard of a service like this before ? is it legal?

Yes. We are using an broker to negotiate the deals. For your peace of mind, we also encourage you to seek independent legal advice

If I sign up for Bigswitch.co.nz, do I have to accept the deals advertised? 

No, signing up is free and carries no obligation. Once a deal is offered that you like, you may choose to sign up for it as you would any other personal loan or finance plan. As above, for your peace of mind we encourage you to see independent financial and legal advice.  

How long will it take before deals are advertised or the deal is on?

How soon a deal is advertised depends on how many signups fit our brokers’ criteria. When a deal is advertised, the number of necessary acceptances will be displayed on site. As people sign up, this will tick down until the deal is on. You will also have a timeframe to accept the deal, and this will be shown as well.
