Upcoming & recent changes
Changes to business banking asset finance terms & conditions — 1 April 2026
We're making some changes to our asset finance terms and conditions (specifically our asset finance fees) and our KiwiLink and KiwiPlus agreements, including how we disclose and describe our fees to you. This also means we're making some changes to our Business Banking Fees & Limits.
Summary of changes:
From 1 April 2026, all our fees for asset finance term loans and our KiwiLink and KiwiPlus facilities will be published in the Business Banking Fees & Limits brochure, and on our asset finance page for you to refer to at any time. The Business Banking Fees & Limits brochure forms part of your asset finance agreement with us and replaces any fees disclosed in that agreement.
We're also removing and reducing several of our fees for asset finance term loans and our asset finance KiwiLink and KiwiPlus facilities. From 1 April 2026, the Business Banking Fees & Limits brochure will include these updated fees.
