With over $25 million in loans written by our network each year, the group buying power of NILS and StepUP clients is significant. By leveraging that buying power, Good Shepherd Microfinance is able to get great deals for clients.
Good2GoNow is an ethical buying service that gives our clients access to the best prices on energy efficient whitegoods, computers and other household appliances.
In the 2017/18 financial year, Good2GoNow customers saved $1.2 million off the ticket price of over 8000 products. Good2GoNow offers competitive prices across the entire range of products offered by The Good Guys. Reducing the cost of appliances means that clients can pay back their loans sooner.
Good2GoNow also helps our clients save on delivery costs, with free delivery on fridges and washing machines anywhere in Australia that’s accessible via sealed roads.
Good2GoNow is only available through Good Shepherd Microfinance’s microfinance network.
