Saving for retirement

KiwiSaver was created to help New Zealanders save for retirement. Your KiwiSaver savings will generally be locked away until you reach retirement^. Once available, you can withdraw everything in your KiwiSaver account or take out partial amounts over time.

Your contributions

Make sure you’re in the right fund

The fund you started out in may not be the best for your current circumstances, and it's easy to change your investment fund via Internet Banking or at a branch.

Government contribution

If you qualify for the Government contribution, you’ll receive 50 cents for every dollar you contribute to your KiwiSaver account, up to the maximum Government contribution of $521.43.
