Visiting a branch
Check the branch & ATM finder before visiting a branch as hours may change unexpectedly. Some branches may be temporarily closed due to COVID-19.
Please stay home if you or members of your household:
- are experiencing flu-like symptoms
- are awaiting a COVID-19 test result
- are self-isolating.
You don't need to be vaccinated to visit a branch but you'll be required to wear a mask. You should keep one metre apart from others (including staff) and use the hand sanitiser we supply at each counter. Personal hygiene is also important to help keep our customers and our people safe.
Changing the way we work
Kiwi have told us they want better access to faster, more flexible and more responsive banking services, so they can bank wherever, whenever and however they like. We introduced a new adaptive model across all our customer facing teams on 24 January 2022.
What the changes mean
We've made changes to branch opening hours to enable staff to help both those who come into the branch and the increasing number of customers who want help digitally.
During our regular branch hours, you’ll be able to do the usual over the counter services and make appointments with banking specialists during these hours (in fact, you can make appointments with us anytime you like). Outside of these times, you’ll still see our staff in the branch as our team work with customers from all around the country over the phone, in our digital channels or undertaking in-person or virtual specialist appointments.
Common questions
We know that customers want us to be able to respond more quickly to their calls and enquiries. To better serve their needs we’ve introduced a new adaptive model across all our customer facing teams.
By utilising staff across all our customer touchpoints in branch and contact centres – more of our team are on hand to help customers whether they’re calling our New Zealand based contact centres or seeking help via secure mail through internet banking and our mobile app.
You'll still be able to visit a branch to do your banking, it may pay to check the opening hours before you leave home. We can also set you up with phone banking, and organise an ATM card for you to use when our branches aren't open, so that you can withdraw cash from an ATM.
We have digital experts who can help you get set up. We also have step-by-step guides on how to set up internet banking. To register for internet banking, you'll need to give us a call on 0800 113 355.
We have a number of ATMs that accept cash deposits.
