## Headline
Heartland's umbrella SME asset-finance product. Loans secured against the asset being financed. Bank-regulated (NZX-listed; RBNZ-licensed).

## Categories (sub-products)
- Transport (truck + trailer) finance
- Civil construction equipment finance
- Materials handling equipment finance
- Manufacturing equipment finance
- Agriculture equipment finance
- Helicopter finance

## Security model
ASSET-secured — the asset being financed is the lender's security. Existing unencumbered assets (not already pledged) may be used to secure new lending.

## Pricing
Per-quote. No published headline interest rate; lending criteria + fees + charges set per-application. Bank-style assessment with relationship-manager-led origination.

## Term
Variable — Heartland's published guidance: "a longer loan term means smaller monthly repayments, but total interest will increase".

## Application
Relationship-manager-led. Apply / enquire online and a Heartland Asset Finance relationship manager calls back.
