Kiwibank - Affordable home loans

Since we are 100% New Zealand owned, Kiwibank has been thinking of ways to give New Zealanders better value banking since the year 2002. We offer personal loans and credit cards a s well as vehicle loans and mortgages.

It is part of our makeup to do what is right for New Zealand, through our processes and community participation as well as our policies we do this by affiliating with associations that make a difference.

Reduced banking fees

Like most Kiwis, we don't like to boast but we do like to just get on with it and to do what we’ve applied our mind to, and that’s making banking better for Kiwis. The awards we have won speak for themselves.

Kiwibank has reduced fees considerably for personal customers. This has been done by means of either reducing or eliminating fees altogether. Customers that are making use of our personal banking are paying less for the use of banking than ever before.

First-time home buyers

A fundamental part for the bank was for first home buyers, we have also recently made an announcement that we would pre-approve home loans and that only 10% deposit to the value of a KiwiBuild home for those who qualify would be required and a contribution of $2000 towards moving or legal expenses.

It was vital for Kiwibank to continue to build the trust of customers as financial organisations were faced with increasing scrutiny and competition.

We partnered with the Department of Conservation in order to increase the capacity and the ability of the world-lead conservation dogs; these are highly trained dogs and handlers that protect our precious native species so the predators that threaten them are tracked down and brought to accountability.

We also work together with Predator Free New Zealand Trust, to assist with the empowerment of communities so that they are able to take on the challenge and assist our native species right in their own backyards. They are also provided with subsidized trapping equipment.
