KiwiSaver for kids

Find out why opening a KiwiSaver account for your tamariki could be well worth considering.

Benefits

Simple and straightforward

With the ANZ KiwiSaver Scheme there’s no minimum amount to join and no minimum amount you need to put into your child’s KiwiSaver account. You choose how much and how often to contribute.

Contribution options

The magic of compounding returns

Kids earn investment returns on contributions made into their KiwiSaver account. But they also earn returns on previous investment returns, which can make a big difference over time. And the sooner you start, the bigger the difference.

Help with buying their first home

It might seem a long way off, but when they’re ready they could use their KiwiSaver savings to put towards their first home. And if they’ve been a KiwiSaver member for at least three years, they may also be able to apply for a First Home Grant from Kāinga Ora.

Buying your first home with KiwiSaver

Establish good money habits

Having a KiwiSaver account can be a great way for kids to learn about the value of saving. It’s also a great opportunity to talk with them about how money works and their goals for the future.

Performance and fees

How it works

Those under 18 aren’t required to make regular contributions unless they’re employed, but regular or one-off voluntary contributions can be made at any time. They also aren’t eligible for the Government contribution and if they’re employed, their employer isn’t required to make employer contributions, although they can choose to.

As KiwiSaver is intended to help people save for their retirement, KiwiSaver savings are generally locked in until age 65. In some circumstances savings may be able to be accessed earlier, such as buying a first home.
