Find out how you can earn better returns on your money
Your messy family, questionable past and your dreams for the future - you can't capture it all in a bunch of tick boxes. But when you're making the biggest financial decision of your life, that's what you're asked to do. Which is kind of absurd. Our advisers know how to look beyond the boxes and most importantly, we want to. Here's what you'll get with Squirrel.
Our Mortgage Advisers are experts at what they do and there's nothing in it for them to push you into something that doesn't fit.
With smart tech doing lots of the heavy lifting, your adviser can spend more time on the important stuff - like getting to know you, and walking you through every step.
We've got relationships with all the major banks and we're totally unbiased (this is more unusual than you might think). And more options? That adds up to better rates and better solutions.
In most cases our service is free. We've been doing this over 12 years and settled over $6 billion in mortgages so yep, our advisers have seen it all.

I dealt with Faye Foster as my mortgage broker to help purchase my first home. She was really supportive, encouraging, friendly and approachable and had great communication. I would recommend Faye to anyone seeking a broker, she helped me own my first home.J
Back in 2008 John Bolton, better known as JB, decided there had to be a better way for Kiwis to get onto the property ladder, and get a mortgage without being gobbled up by the big banks. So he left the corporate world, cashed in his superannuation and started Squirrel at the height of the global financial crisis (against all odds).
