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.
