What is a KiwiSaver first home withdrawal?
A KiwiSaver first home withdrawal lets you take out most of your KiwiSaver savings to buy your first home, after at least three years as a member.
You must leave at least $1,000 in your account, plan to live in the home and buy in New Zealand. Money transferred from an Australian super scheme cannot be used. Some previous home owners can still qualify through Kāinga Ora.
Your provider handles the application, so apply well before settlement.
