NZAI executes new finance facility


NZ Automotive Investments Limited (NZAI or the Company) (NZX:NZA) is pleased to advise it has executed a new, lower cost trade finance facility with Finance Now.

Finance Now, with whom 2 Cheap Cars has enjoyed a long-term strategic partnership, is providing a NZD$5.0m trade finance facility, replacing NZAI’s current arrangement with ASB, effective 1 June 2023.

CEO Paul Millward said the new arrangement is a win win – leveraging an already strong relationship and providing 2 Cheap Cars access to working capital finance at a lower rate.

“We are delighted to be extending our partnership with Finance Now who have provided finance solutions to our customers for over nine years. The Finance Now team understands and actively supports our business, and we can confidently plan ahead knowing we have access to very well-priced capital,” he said.
