Application for an Account

To access some of our services you need you to open an account. Centrix needs to capture this information to comply with our obligations under the Credit Reporting Privacy Code.

Opening an account is easy and there is no set up fee. You can cancel your account at any time. Once your account is open, you can choose to pay for the services you access on account billing, or if you are likely to access credit reports infrequently, you can choose to pay-as-you-go by credit card.

Once we’ve received your account application form and approved it, we will send you an email with instructions on how to access your account. This will generally be within 24 hours.

If you think you have had an application with Centrix in the past, please phone us on 0800 236 874 or email us on admin@centrix.co.nz with your details and a request to confirm, before filling in this form.
