BREAKING NEWS: Kiwibank is getting a $500m boost.

Financial Adviser, Director from adviceHQ

The Government has approved Kiwibank's plan to raise up to $500 million in new local capital — a move aimed at growing a stronger, locally-owned bank that can better compete with the Aussie-owned giants.

Here’s why it matters to you:
✅ Still majority Kiwi-owned.
✅ More competition = better deals.
✅ Built for growth — not just now, but into the future.

To give you some perspective, this injection could enable Kiwibank to support up to $4 billion in business lending or $10 billion in home lending, offering much-needed fuel to compete more aggressively in the local market.

adviceHQ is proud to be on Kiwibank’s exclusive partner panel — a level of access not available to all mortgage advisers.

If you’re looking to buy, sell, refix, refinance, or grow — get in touch.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
