Bank with BNZ

BNZ customers can choose to make donations simply by signing up to the kiwi EFTPOS card or cheque book. Every cent of these donations goes directly to saving the kiwi.

BNZ Save the Kiwi EFTPOS card

When signing up for an EFTPOS card, BNZ customers can order a kiwi card.

When you do, the Bank deducts a NZ$10 donation, and once every year thereafter. It becomes your annual donation to the BNZ Save the Kiwi Trust.

To stop the donations, simply cancel the kiwi EFTPOS card.

Order your card online today at www.bnz.co.nz/savekiwi or call 0800 800 468 (within New Zealand).
