It takes a few minutes to complete the form and a few working days for us to run our compliance checks and set up the account.

You will receive an email notification with payment instructions when your account is ready.

If you’ve been a member of KiwiSaver for three years, you may be able to withdraw some of your KiwiSaver savings to put towards purchasing your first home.

Usually, you can withdraw your contributions, your employer’s contributions, any government contributions, and all of the investment returns in your KiwiSaver account (provided you leave a minimum balance of $1,000).

If you have owned a house before, you may still qualify if the Minister of Housing considers that your financial situation, in terms of your income, assets and liabilities, is the same as what would be expected for a person who has never owned a home.

In this case, you need to get a certificate from Housing New Zealand  (now Kāinga Ora) verifying this.

There is a minimum investment amount of $5,000 for the initial investment.  Once your account is set up, you're welcome to make regular or one-off payments at any time. Please use our online banking instructions.
