New Resident Services

Our dedicated team can make your move easier
The National Bank’s New Resident Services Team specialises in helping new and recent migrants get set up and succeed in New Zealand. We have knowledgeable and experienced staff who have migrated to New Zealand themselves, who understand the issues, and have established themselves successfully. They can answer all your questions and make sure your banking arrangements are all in place for your arrival in Nelson.

A special banking package
We’ve also created a special Migrant Package to help make your transition more comfortable. This includes:

− No monthly account fee on Foreign Currency Call Accounts (saving $5 per account each month)
− Foreign Currency Investment Accounts available in US dollars, Great British pounds, Euro and Australian dollars (from time-to-time interest is not paid on some currencies or on all amounts)
− A $5 discount on the normal fee for inward International Money Transfers to a National Bank Foreign Currency Account (normally $15)
− A special interest rate on any New Zealand dollar Term Deposit of $10,000 or more
− A free personalised EFTPOS card.

We also offer a great International Student Package if you are moving to New Zealand to study.
