Changes to your internet banking — it's getting a refresh

Our tīma (team) has been working hard behind the scenes to make changes to your digital banking experience to make it simpler and more accessible. We'll be rolling out these updates in phases to small groups of customers, so not everyone will see the updates straight away.

What's changing?
  • You'll start to see changes to your digital banking experience starting with a new view of your accounts.
  • Some pages may have a new look, while other pages will still look the same for now.
  • When you move between new and old pages, the URL will change. Once the upgrade is completed and rolled out to all customers, the URL will be consistent across internet banking.
  • Authentic NZHL URLs always contain "nzhltransact.co.nz". You can expect to see pages switching between the following URLs:
    • banking.nzhltransact.co.nz/...
    • www.nzhltransact.co.nz/...

Find out more about our internet banking refresh.

Date effective: Rolling out from 26 March 2025

Date published: 10 March 2025
