We’re updating our Privacy Policy to make it clearer and easier to understand how we collect, use and share personal information.
The changes include:
- Clearer descriptions of the personal information we collect, including information used to help protect customers from fraud and scams.
- More detail about why we collect and use personal information, such as to provide and manage banking services, keep customers safe, improve our services, and meet legal and regulatory requirements.
- Greater transparency about who we may share personal information with, including people you authorise, service providers who support our operations, industry and payment system organisations, and regulators or government agencies where required by law.
- Updated information about Open Banking, including what information may be shared with third party providers you authorise.
- Clearer explanation of your privacy rights, including access and correction rights, and how withdrawing consent may affect the services we can provide.
These updates are intended to improve transparency and reflect how we operate today. They don’t change our commitment to protecting your personal information.

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.
