MoneyHubMOVE 2026
Here's what you need to know!
MoneyHub is bringing together everything you need to get ahead financially, all under one roof at the Auckland Showgrounds, on Saturday 21 November.
Whether you're buying your first home, growing your KiwiSaver, comparing insurance, or just trying to get smarter with your everyday spending, this is your chance to talk to real experts, ask real questions, and compare your options in person, not just online.
One day, three pillars:
Knowledge. Straight-talking sessions on budgeting, KiwiSaver, investing, home ownership and getting out of debt. No jargon, no judgement.
Access. Meet real advisers, experts, and MoneyHub's own authors face to face. Bring the questions you've been sitting on and get real answers.
Action. Leave with a plan, not just notes. Get personalised next steps and tools to start taking action with your money today.
What to expect on the day:
$10,000 in prizes. Every ticket, from just $5, goes in the draw for $10,000 worth of prizes from our partners, including cash
Meet the experts. Talk face to face with providers across KiwiSaver, investing, insurance, banking, mortgages, and more
A full day of speakers. Hear from industry experts, economists, and journalists throughout the day, all feeding straight back to what's on the floor
Giveaways and activations. Interactive stalls and plenty of chances to walk away with more than you came with
A goody bag. Included with every ticket, with freebies from our partners
Something for every stage of life. Whether you're a first home buyer, growing a family, planning your next investment, or heading into retirement, there's a part of the day built for you
Free parking. Thanks to Tiger Brokers (NZ), parking at the Auckland Showgrounds is included with your ticket
Free coffee. Thanks to Booster, keep yourself fuelled up while you explore the floor
Free WiFi. Thanks to Better Finance, stay connected all day long
Your ticket gives back. Every ticket sold donates tickets to charity, from one ticket on General Admission up to twenty on Inner Circle, to a charity of your choice

Tiger Brokers - New Zealand
Tiger Brokers is aggressively priced for global investors, sitting at around half the cost of its nearest competitor for US shares, a real difference for anyone trading regularly. Backed by an Auckland-based team who understand the New Zealand investor, Tiger Brokers continues to innovate with auto-invest, fractional shares, and its own TigerGPT chatbot to help investors make sense of the market. For cost-conscious investors who still want access to a wide range of global markets, it's hard to look past.

Booster
We named Booster Savvy our Editor's Choice Favourite Debit Card, a rare achievement for a transaction account. Pairing everyday spending with real investment returns isn't something we see often, and Savvy's Boost, Sweep, and spending analytics tools go well beyond what a standard bank account offers, helping everyday New Zealanders build smarter financial habits without even trying. Backed by Booster's decades of experience managing KiwiSaver and investment funds, Savvy brings investment credibility to something as ordinary as a debit card.

Better Finance is a car loan broker, not a lender, so every car finance application goes to a panel of lenders rather than the car yard's preferred choice. Approvals are quick, with money arriving the same day.
