If you want to move money between countries or move to New Zealand, we can help, with our foreign currency accounts, international money transfers and accounts for new arrivals to New Zealand.

Moving to New Zealand?
If you're heading to New Zealand to work or study, we think you've chosen a great place! You can open an account before you arrive in New Zealand, as long as you meet a few criteria.
Foreign currency accounts
Hold funds in a foreign currency rather than having to convert your money into New Zealand dollars. A foreign account could be handy if you regularly make or receive foreign payments, or if you’ve recently moved to New Zealand.
