Join Kiwibank and save

 

Kiwibank is New Zealand’s only Kiwi-owned, full service bank with branches nationwide. We offer great value accounts and services, and can help you save up to 50% on your everyday banking with no monthly account management fees, no fees for deposits or transfers between Kiwibank accounts and low transaction fees.

Whether you’re new to New Zealand (or not here yet!), well-established or here studying for your education – Kiwibank can help you with your banking needs.

What we offer
From a better deal on your home loan and high interest on your investments, to a low interest rate Kiwibank MasterCard, we have a lot to offer you!

  • Everyday cheque accounts
  • High interest cheque accounts
  • Flexible savings accounts
  • Great rates on Term Deposits and Kiwibank’s Online Call account
  • Cheaper home loans guaranteed
  • A low interest rate MasterCard

And, even better, you won’t pay account or transaction fees on your personal accounts if you’re a full-time tertiary student, under 18 years of age, a non-profit organisation, a Kiwibank Home Loan customer, or if you receive New Zealand Superannuation (and have it paid into your Kiwibank personal account)*.

Banking when and where you need it
We make getting to the bank easy with the biggest network of branches in New Zealand - over 300 branches in PostShops nationwide. Our branches are open retail hours that are convenient for you, with some open Saturdays and Sundays. We’re the only bank where you can do your banking, post your mail, make bill payments and international payments all at the same time, at one place.

You can also enjoy 24-hour phone, TXT and internet banking, and have access to over 2000 ATMs, including our own quickcash machines. You can also use your Kiwibank ATM card overseas in over 120 countries on the Cirrus network. And, if you’re looking for a home loan, our Home Loan Advisers will come to you, at a time and place that’s convenient. Or, if you prefer, we can do it all over the phone.

Smart new ideas for easier banking
Imagine being able to check your bank balance by text, get statements and alerts by email, and have a certain amount automatically set aside each payday. Or, you could even take advantage of a service that automatically sweeps money you don’t use everyday into a savings account where it will earn interest.

You can enjoy all these services with Kiwibank.

Although we don't receive any kind of commission payment, it's nice for Kiwibank to know we are working for them. :o)

Special services for migrants
If you haven’t arrived in New Zealand yet, we offer a “remote account opening” service so all your bank accounts can be set up with Kiwibank before you get here. It’s easy to apply - just request an opening pack by emailing us at kiwibank@move2nz.com.

For our Asian language-speaking customers, we have a number of staff in key locations who can provide friendly face to face service in your language. To find out which branches offer this service click here.

We look forward to welcoming you to Kwibank

How to join Kiwibank
Kiwibank has a dedicated team of migrant banking specialists who will talk you through the process involved in opening accounts with Kiwibank. The team can open the account(s) for you and assist in transferring money into your new Kiwibank account before you move to New Zealand. Once you arrive, all you’ll need to do is verify yourself by presenting your photo identification at any of our Kiwibank branches, located nationwide.

You can email the team at kiwibank@move2nz.com for an account opening pack. Remember to include your key details: your name, phone number and address (and mention move2nz!). Alternatively, you can give them a call on 04 382 3289 (or on +64 4 382 3289 if you're calling from overseas). Our team will then be in contact within 48 hours to talk through the next steps.

For enquiries in Mandarin, Grace Hou is our Mandarin speaking specialist. She is available on 0800 22 33 08 (or on +64 4 382 3317 if you're calling from overseas).

We look forward to welcoming you to Kiwibank!
