About Homely
We are on a mission to make home ownership accessible by combining intelligent technology with trusted financial advice to help Kiwis make better home loan decisions.
Getting a home loan shouldn't be this hard
For most Kiwis, buying a home is one of life's biggest financial decisions, yet the process remains slow, opaque and full of unnecessary friction. Our founding team experienced this first-hand and knew there had to be a better way.
Drawing on deep experience in banking, financial services, data and technology, they built Homely to simplify the mortgage journey while ensuring customers receive trusted, regulated financial advice when they need it.
Our AI-powered platform streamlines the application and handles the admin, so our experienced Financial Advisers can focus on personalised advice tailored to your circumstances and goals.
What we stand for
Empowerment
You stay in control of your home loan journey, with the tools and transparency to make confident decisions.
Simplicity
We streamline every step, from exploring options to signing your loan agreement.
Speed
Powered by AI, our platform turns weeks of waiting into speedy decisions for customers and lenders.
Trust
No hidden fees. No surprises. Just honest, straightforward advice that puts customers first.
It takes a village
People from all walks of life came together to build Homely, united by a shared belief in our vision and by their own experiences as home buyers.
Every part of Homely, from our AI models to our platform design, is 100% homegrown. Long before ChatGPT and large language models became buzzwords, our team was quietly training and refining our AI to deliver real accuracy and value.
Built without a single dollar of external funding, Homely is powered by former bankers, technologists, data engineers, developers and bright graduates who gave their time, talent and heart. To everyone who believed in us, thank you.
