Kiwibank KiwiSaver Scheme

Kiwibank now distributes the Gareth Morgan KiwiSaver Scheme. The Kiwibank KiwiSaver Scheme will continue to operate for existing members, but we’re not taking any new applications to join or transfer.

We intend to write to our Kiwibank KiwiSaver Scheme customers about transferring over to the Gareth Morgan KiwiSaver Scheme later this year. More about the Gareth Morgan KiwiSaver Scheme

Making changes

You can make changes to your Kiwibank KiwiSaver Scheme account at your local Kiwibank, over the phone or in internet banking. You can:

  • view balances and transactions
  • transfer funds from other Kiwibank accounts into your member account
  • change your investment option
  • change funds if you’re in Classic
  • change your investment mix if you’re in Self Managed.

The first two changes to your investment options, funds, or Self Managed investment mix in any 12 month period (starting from your enrolment date) are free. After that a switch fee will apply.

Contributions holidays

If you’ve been making contributions from your pay for 12 months or more, you can take a contributions holiday of between 3 months and 5 years. You don't need to provide a reason. In some cases Inland Revenue may agree to a holiday of less than 3 months.

There’s no limit to the number of times you can take a contributions holiday and you can renew it at any time.

To apply for a contributions holiday you can:

  • apply online if you’re registered for My KiwiSaver, or
  • print off and complete a pdfContributions holiday request (KS6) (PDF 60 KB) and post it to Inland Revenue. The address details are on the form, or
  • call Inland Revenue on 0800 549 472 (0800 KIWISAVER), or 04 978 0800 if calling from a cellphone.

Early withdrawals

There are some circumstances where you can apply to withdraw some or all of your investment early. You can read more about them on the KiwiSaver website.

To request a withdrawal, complete the relevant withdrawal form and drop it in to your local Kiwibank, or send it to us:
