A question for people from New Zealand?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:You are going to need a tax number first. Do you have one? I banked with Trustbank, but then they were bought by Westpac, but they were still OK. They had a branch in a sundays open shopping mall that made things very convenient. As far as fees go, Trust bank and Post bank were cheaper. If you want some consumer report information on the banks… lets see if I can find one with google… http://www.localbulletin.co.nz/ There is a NZ consumer .org but you have to pay a fee for it. It was a magazine I got when I lived there, now everything is online, but you still need to pay. www.consumer.org.nz but they cover everything, appliances, services etc. And I am so jealous. I lived there for 15 years and long to go back.
