How Pawnshops Have Stood the Test of Time

HOW PAWNSHOPS HAVE STOOD THE TEST OF TIME

Did you know that pawnshops have existed for over 3,000 years?

Indeed they have. DollarDealers may offer a pioneering range of modern pawnbroking services but our core values remain aligned with the pawnbrokers of yesteryear.

Pawn loans have been the solution of choice for hard-working individuals and business owners for over three thousand centuries. Pawnbroking is a financial institution that has stood the test of time; DollarDealers is humbled to be playing an active role in modernising the pawnbroking industry for Kiwis in 2019 and beyond.

 

The world’s first pawnshops are thought to have been established in Ancient China. These early pawnshops were created to aid low-income families to access short term credit. Fast forward to modern day New Zealand and DollarDealers, your local pawnshop, is offering financial solutions to the whole community

Our pawnbroking services are available to all members of the community and our loyal customers join us from a broad range of financial backgrounds.

HOW HAVE PAWNSHOPS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME?

As the world of finance has globalised, drastic changes to banking systems and financial services have evolved.

Pawnbroking and localised, privately owned pawnshops has remained a constant for a few very important reasons.

PAWN LOANS ARE SAFE

Pawn loans are a safe way to borrow money.

Interest rates are typically much lower than that of bank loans and, with DollarDealers, the duration of your repayments is more flexible. For these two reasons alone a pawn loan is considered to be a low-risk option for a short-term loan.

Should you default on a pawn loan you simply lose your pawned item. The pawnshop retains your pawned item and sells it to recuperate their losses. There are never any final notices posted through the door and a defaulted loan does not impact your credit rating.
