Switch to Kiwibank

If you’re a New Zealand registered limited company, you can start the switch process online in under 20 minutes. For other business types, or if you’d like to explore how we can support your business banking needs, talk to a business banking specialist. We’ll learn about your business and discuss how our accounts and services can help you achieve your goals.

Once you’ve decided to switch, we’ll help you create your Kiwibank profile and complete business verification. Check our handy list of what you’ll need.

ID checks are quick and easy using our smartphone ID checker or by visiting one of our branches.

We’ll recommend suitable Kiwibank accounts and services for your business. Once agreed, we’ll go over the required disclosures and compliance steps. For most businesses, steps 1–3 take about 40 minutes in one sitting.

Your accounts will be opened and online banking activated. We can help to set up your automatic payments, direct debits, staff wages, and transferring regular customer payments.

Share your new account details and update your invoicing information.

We’ll help you close your previous accounts and transfer your funds to your new Kiwibank business banking accounts.
