How do I withdraw my Kiwisaver?

When you begin looking to buy your first property, you should contact your Kiwisaver provider for an estimate letter to confirm your eligibility and the approximate amount you can withdraw. Please be aware that your Kiwisaver savings may fluctuate at any time due to the fund your Kiwisaver money is held in.

To withdraw your Kiwisaver, you need to have signed an agreement that can be either conditional or unconditional.  Your next step is to complete your Kiwisaver provider’s application to withdraw your Kiwisaver. You will need to provide us with copies of any other required documents e.g. driver’s license, passport, proof of address etc, so we can view the originals and send them to your Kiwisaver provider.  

Once we send your forms into your Kiwisaver provider, your Kiwisaver provider will take 10-15 working days to send your Kiwisaver funds (except for $1,000) into our trust account. This money can then be put towards buying your first home or in some cases, paying for the deposit.
