When you’re making the move to a new country, there’s no shortage of things on your to-do list. Getting your finances and banking sorted out early will help everything else run more smoothly.
At Bank of New Zealand, we’ve been helping people start a new life in New Zealand since 1861 – so we know how to provide a warm welcome!
For instance, you’ll find it easy to apply for a New Zealand bank account with us. You can even do it all online before you leave, so we can have everything set up for you when you arrive. Applying in advance means we can have things like your EFTPOS (debit) card ready and waiting for you.
As well as setting up your everyday accounts, we can help with your other needs like investments, insurances, superannuation and more. And as one of New Zealand’s leading full-service banks, we also have a global reach via our parent company, the National Australia Bank.
Come to New Zealand and you’ll find Bank of New Zealand is part of your neighbourhood. We have more than 170 stores (branches) and 400 ATMs (cash machines) nationwide.
We also pride ourselves on providing excellent customer service. When you phone or email us, you’ll be dealing with helpful, knowledgeable people who have your interests at heart. The following comment is typical of the feedback we receive from our migrant customers:
“Many thanks for your prompt response and assistance, it is very much appreciated and has made the process so much easier.”
