MEET THE TEAM 👋

Ever wondered who's behind the friendly faces at MTF First Ave?

Over the coming weeks, we'll be introducing you to the people who make up our team!

From what we do and how we help our customers to the little things that make us who we are, we're excited to share a little more about the people behind the business.

Meet Stephen
Stephen has worked at MTF First Ave for 12 months.
His favourite part of the job is interacting with the customers; he strives to make the whole process for the customer as quick and seamless as possible. One fun fact about Stephen that people may not know is Stephen was a chef who made the 'BEST' apple pies in South Uist Western Isles, Outer Hebrides.
His dream holiday destination is anywhere in the world with his brother.... it's chaos...in a good way!!!!

We love giving you a glimpse into the people behind the business. Stay tuned for next week's Meet the Team! 😊Or pop on in and say 'Hi' 👋

We're proud to be strengthening our commitment to the city we've called home for more than 56 years💛

We've partnered with Dunedin Venues to become the naming rights sponsor of the MTF Finance Members Corporate East Lounge at Forsyth Barr Stadium

This partnership is about more than our name on a lounge. It's about investing in the city that helped shape MTF Finance and supporting one of New Zealand's iconic venues, where communities come together to celebrate sport, music and unforgettable moments.

We can't wait to be part of many great memories under the big roof!

The stigma around finance might be costing you more than the repayments ever would 🤷‍♂️ We often tell ourselves that avoiding finance is the responsible choice.

But what happens when holding onto that belief ends up costing you thousands in fuel, repairs and lost value?

"You might be more ready than you think."

🏡 Ten months ago, those simple words gave Louise the confidence to take the first step towards home ownership. 🙋🏻‍♀️ Like many first-home buyers, she wasn't sure it was possible. But with guidance, support, and someone in her corner, what felt out of reach became a reality.

We're incredibly proud of our Mortgage Advisers like Delwyn, who help turn uncertainty into confidence and big dreams into front-door moments.

Thank you, Louise, for trusting us to be part of your journey. 💛
