How to Open a Bank Account [The KKCT Financial Wellbeing Series]

Are you new to New Zealand or preparing to hire overseas staff for the upcoming winter ski season? Join us for an informative session on "How to Open a Bank Account" with ASB and The Kiwi Kit Community Trust.

Navigating the process of opening a bank account in New Zealand can be challenging, with potential wait times of up to three weeks. This event will help you to streamline the process and also provide essential insights to help you or your incoming staff get fully set up for payday. 

Representatives from ASB and Inland Revenue (IRD) will be present to provide valuable insights and answer your questions about banking procedures and obtaining an IRD number, both essential before your first payday.

During this session, you'll have the opportunity to learn:

• Steps to open a bank account in New Zealand
• Tips to avoid lengthy wait times and streamline the process
• Importance of Anti Money Laundering laws and their impact on account opening
• The significance of obtaining an IRD number before your first paycheck to avoid unnecessary tax charges

Join us for either our morning or evening session on Thursday, 23 May, where you'll have the opportunity for a live Q&A session with representatives from IRD and ASB Bank. Everyone is welcome, and tickets are FREE!

Don't miss this valuable opportunity to gain insights, ask questions, and ensure a smooth transition into the New Zealand financial system. We look forward to seeing you there!
