Public notices from 2026 for NZHL-arranged home loans
We're making some changes to our NZHL Fees and Limits.
Due to recent regulatory and banking-industry changes in Australia, we're removing the International Direct Credit (IDC) payment option.
Summary of changes:
From 14 May, you'll no longer be able to:
- Send an AUD IDC to Australia
- Send a GBP IDC to the United Kingdom
IDC is only currently available for these two countries.
You can continue to send payments to Australia and the United Kingdom, using the International Money Transfer (IMT) payment option.

Date effective: 14 May 2026
Date published: 30 April 2026
- You’ll see a new look when transferring money between your accounts, but everything works the same and stays secure.
- We'll be rolling out these updates in phases to small groups of customers, so not everyone will see the updates straight away.

Effective from: 23 March 2026

Changes to your internet banking login
- When you log in to internet banking, you'll see refreshed sign-in screens with a cleaner layout.
- How you log in hasn't changed — you'll still use your existing access number and password.

- During the rollout, you may notice the web address (URL) change when you log in to internet banking or move between different parts. This is expected and your banking remains secure.
- Genuine NZHL URLs always contain "nzhltransact.co.nz".
- We'll be rolling out these updates in phases to small groups of customers, so not everyone will see the updates straight away.
