Online banking is getting a refresh

We’re improving online banking to make it simpler, more secure and ready for the future. As updates roll out, we’ll let you now what’s changing and what it means for you.

Here's what to expect

A new online banking experience for business

We're updating online banking to make everyday business banking easier to manage, starting off with a new accounts experience.

The rollout is phased so you may not see changes straight away.

What you'll notice when you log in

Accounts overview has changed
  • You can now view your accounts in list or grid views.
  • Upcoming payments no longer appear on the accounts overview. Find them in ‘Pay & transfer’.
  • Statement vault links have moved, but you can still access statements from the accounts overview or settings.
Exporting transactions may look different

If you export transactions to reconcile or for accounting software, check your export settings after you see the refreshed view. You may need to select a different format or update your import mapping.

Switching between profiles has moved
  • Your profile switcher now sits in the top right of the navigation bar.
  • You can reorder profiles and set a default across internet banking and the mobile app.
Improved keyword search
  • Find transactions faster with improved keyword search.

Getting set up with the new experience

  • Take a moment to familiarise yourself with the updated layout.
  • Check your export settings if you export transactions.
  • Find upcoming payments, transfers and direct debits, under 'Pay & transfer'.
  • If you manage multiple entities, look for the updated profile switcher and take a moment to reorder entities to suit how you work.

Web addresses may look different

During the rollout, you may notice the web address (URL) change when:

  • you log in to internet banking, or
  • you move between different parts of internet banking.

This is expected and your banking is secure.

How to tell you’re on a genuine Kiwibank or NZHL page:
  • Genuine Kiwibank web addresses will always include "kiwibank.co.nz".
  • Genuine NZHL web addresses will always include "nzhltransact.co.nz".

For security, please log in to internet banking through the Kiwibank website.

As the rollout continues

We’re rolling out updates gradually, so you may see the refreshed experience in some areas, like accounts, while other parts of internet banking will stay the same for now.

Some users, such as data users with limited access, may not see these changes. Experiences can vary across users within the same business.

Thanks for your patience while we make these improvements. If you have any questions, please read our guide below.
