Product Closure FAQs
humm has made the difficult decision to discontinue its service in New Zealand effective 25th September 2022. Between now and then you will have full access to your available balance and will be able to continue to shop with our current partners. See the FAQs below for more information.
Product Closure
You can continue to pay off your purchases on the same payment cycle or pay them off earlier if you choose to.
Please note that any late fees you incur as a result of missed payments will still apply.
You can change your funding source via the app if you prefer to use an alternative debit or credit card for your final payments.
You can access information related to your account status via the app when you need it, and an email confirmation can be sent once the account is closed upon request. Please note this can take up to 90 days to send if requested.
If you are experiencing financial hardship, please contact our team and they will support you.
You can continue to access your account via the app and website until your account is closed.
Once your total amount owing has been paid in full for both humm Little Things and Big Things (if you also have a Big Things balance), we’ll close your humm account on your behalf, there will be no further actions on your part.
The team are here to help you and make this as easy as possible. Please get in touch.
We currently issue 1 in every 3 credit cards in New Zealand, including Flight Centre Mastercard, Q Mastercard and Farmers Mastercard and these products continue to grow in New Zealand.

The closure of humm in NZ is due to consolidation of our customer product offerings. Basically, that means we’re narrowing our focus to a few core products and global locations.
You can continue to make purchases using humm until 25 September, at which point you will only be able to manage your repayments in the app/web
In anticipation of the product closing, we have notified all customers 30 days in advance of a credit limit reduction.
We reserve the right to reduce credit limits (with 30 days’ notice) as per the terms and conditions.
