Join on the phone
Call us on 0800 523 523. If you have a driver’s licence and a car in your name, we should be able to join you up over the phone. Otherwise, you’ll need to visit your local Kiwibank to present ID and a few documents.
When you call us, please have handy:
- Your NZ driver’s licence
- Your IRD number (so interest can be taxed at the right rate).
When joining at your local Kiwibank, please bring along:
- One form of current photo ID (e.g. a passport or NZ driver’s licence)
- One document, no more than 90 days old, showing proof of address (this must be a bank statement or a utilities bill, such as a phone or power bill)
- Your IRD number (if you didn’t already give it to us on the phone)
- To make things easier, if you also bring along a recent bank statement showing details of your automatic payments, bill payments and direct debits we can start setting these up on your account when you come in (optional).
