Pyne Gould Corporation’s subsidiary MARAC, today announced that it has entered a partnership arrangement with Kiwibank
to provide products and services to Kiwibank customers.
The agreement will have Kiwibank offering its own consumer customers “Kiwibank vehicle finance” under the terms of an
agreement with MARAC. Kiwibank will market and promote the products to its customers and MARAC will act for Kiwibank
bringing its expertise in vehicle finance assessment, asset financing management, and ancillary services to the benefit
of Kiwibank and its customers.
In addition, MARAC will provide plant and equipment financing to Kiwibank's Business customers, which will build on
Kiwibank's existing offering to their Business Banking clients and recognises MARAC’s specialist skills in asset
finance.
The partnership leverages the skills and experience of two proudly New Zealand owned and operated businesses.
Brian Jolliffe, Managing Director of MARAC, noted that the nature of the agreement was seen as good for both parties.
“MARAC has expertise in these markets developed over many years and Kiwibank wishes to provide these products and
services to its customers in a competitive market. This is clearly an arrangement which will have each of us providing
our expertise for the ultimate benefit of the customer”.
