About us

One adviser who stays with you

Ascend Financial Services is a New Zealand-wide finance and insurance advice business. We arrange all types of lending, including residential, commercial, business and asset finance and personal loans, as well as KiwiSaver and risk insurance, so you deal with one adviser instead of a queue of lenders.

Ascend was started in 2021 by Ben Mune. We cover the vast majority of lenders and insurance providers in the market, and we are truly a one-stop shop.

You get a direct line to the person doing your deal. There is no call queue, and no account manager who changes every few months like at a bank.
