About UNO Society
UNO Society is a specialist New Zealand lender providing worker and migrant lending for recruitment agencies and employers.
We support trades and essential workers with responsible, short-term finance that removes financial friction at critical points, without disrupting employment relationships or placing pressure on employer balance sheets.
Our lending is designed to support workforce participation, stability, and continuity of employment, particularly in sectors where timing, reliability, and execution matter.
Worker & Migrant Lending for Employers and Recruitment Agencies
Responsible short-term finance supporting trades workers, migrant labour, and the businesses that employ them across New Zealand.
Our Vision
UNO Society was established to be New Zealand’s leading capability-focused financial partner, supporting workers, recruitment agencies, and employers with speed, transparency, and discipline.
We aim to be the trusted lending partner for organisations that rely on migrant and trade workforces across New Zealand.
Who We Work With
UNO Society works with:
Recruitment agencies placing migrant and trade workers
Businesses that directly employ migrant labour
Workers referred by agencies or applying directly
Employers seeking to remove cash-flow friction without carrying lending risk
Our partnerships are structured to support workforce stability while protecting employer balance sheets.
What We Do
UNO Society provides short-term, responsible lending solutions for workers, recruitment agencies, and direct employers.
Our lending supports:
New to New Zealand worker loans
Worker loans for trades and essential roles
Vehicle finance to support employment
Short-term costs that would otherwise delay or disrupt work
All lending decisions are made independently, based on suitability and affordability assessments, and managed end-to-end by UNO Society under New Zealand’s consumer credit framework.
We work with a small number of aligned recruitment partners and employers, and where appropriate lend directly to individuals, applying the same standards in every case.
How We Work
Our model is intentionally restrained and designed to meet New Zealand consumer credit standards.
We focus on:
independent credit assessment
clear suitability and affordability standards
transparent terms and documentation
disciplined, consistent decision-making
We do not compromise long-term trust for short-term volume.
