How it works
-
Choose how your savings are taxed
You can open an Online Call or PIE Online Call account, depending on your tax situation. They work the same way, but a PIE account may be more tax-efficient based on your Prescribed Investor Rate (PIR). Your earnings are taxed at your PIR, capped at 28%, so you may be able to keep more of what you earn.
-
Access your money anytime with no reduced interest
Your money isn’t locked away. You can move it to your nominated account whenever you need to, without reduced interest or extra fees. If your nominated account details change, you can update them by sending us a secure message.
-
Pay no account management or transaction fees
More of your money stays where it should with no account management or transaction fees when you manage your savings online. Other fees may still apply.
-
Earn interest automatically, daily
Grow your savings in the background — no extra effort needed. Interest is calculated daily and paid monthly, so you can see your balance build. Add, transfer or access your money anytime, with no fees or restrictions without losing the interest you’ve earned.

$500 million statement
We’ve estimated that Kiwi households and businesses could be missing out on around $500 million every year in interest they could be earning.
This information is based on publicly available data published by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ). The savings balance used is the total held in savings accounts across all registered banks in New Zealand. The estimated $500 million figure is calculated by applying the difference between Kiwibank’s Online Call interest rate and the average market savings rate to the savings balance. Actual outcomes may differ depending on customer behaviour, product mix, and changes in interest rates.
