Here's what to expect
More secure ways to verify your internet banking login
We're introducing new ways to verify it's you when you log in to internet banking. These changes help protect your banking and give you more ways to securely access your accounts.
What you'll notice
When you log in, you may see new options to verify it's you:
- Approve your login with an app notification.
- Enter a one-time code sent to your mobile.
Over time, these options will become the main way to verify your login, as they offer a more secure way to confirm it’s you. See how it works.
Get set up
To use app notifications and one-time codes:
- Download or update the Kiwibank mobile app.
- Make sure your mobile number is up to date and verified.
If you don’t use the app or don’t have a mobile number, you’ll still be able to log in using other methods for now.
A new online banking experience for business
Some business customers will see updates to their online banking experience. These changes are being rolled out gradually, so you may not see them straight away.
What you'll notice when you log in
- Accounts over view has changed. View accounts in list or grid views, and find upcoming payments under 'Pay & transfer.
- Access statements from the accounts overview or settings.
- Check your export settings. You may need to select a different format or update your import mapping.
- Your profile switcher now sits in the top right of the navigation bar.
See what's changing for business banking.
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.
