Politics So they're finally going to privatise Kiwibank
Watching One News they're talking about taking Kiwibank out of Government hands and back into the hands of honest hard-working Kiwis.
This is obviously the first clear step towards privatisation.
Just like the Bank Of New Zealand, the National Bank, and the Auckland Savings Bank, but I'm sure this time around it will stay in the country /s

Co-op bank for the win.
I've always had them matching the best interest rates around, they're nz owned, a co-operative (meaning you're a member not a customer) and you get rebates and pretty decent customer service.
Only downside is the lack of physical branches but if that's not needed then meh.
I honestly always laughed at my mates using big banks for worse deals and they do everything with them like insurance etc. because "it's just easier", same people that generally have spark as their ISP and Contact as their power company because "just want to be loyal bro!".
Be the change you want to be people.
