Meet Toni Bell, founder of Kia ora Finance

I’ve spent over three decades helping New Zealanders access finance – across corporate banking, branch management, and independent broking.

Over the years, one thing has stayed consistent: people find finance intimidating.

It really shouldn’t be.

That’s why I created Kia ora Finance, to provide a fast, and personal alternative to the banks and car yard finance. No long wait times, no pushy sales tactics, just honesty and transparency throughout the entire process.

I live in sunny Hawke’s Bay with my family (and three very spoiled Shih Tzu-Maltese dogs and one cat). When I’m not working, you’ll find me at the gym, walking the dogs, cooking, or researching health and wellness trends.

This business is special to me for some many reasons but most of all, it’s the trust and confidence my customers have in me to provide them with the best finance options available.

And that’s something I don’t take lightly.
