Moving to another country can be stressful and sometimes it helps to know what other people have experienced when they moved. Whether you're moving your entire family to New Zealand for a better lifestyle or moving here to setup a business we can help.

Is an international student from Shanghai, China. This is her first time away from home and she's doing her best to arrange everything herself. Setting up her accounts was the first and most important step.
"All I brought from home is my clothes and a few personal things. It's going to take a while to get organised - I still have to find somewhere to live! - but my first stop had to be the bank."
"Lucky for me, The National Bank has a great service for overseas students. They've set me up with an account and a credit card, to help me get everything I need. I've also got a foreign currency account so my parents can help me out too. And I can manage everything online, so it will always fit in with my timetable."
Are getting ready to move their family here from England. They're looking forward to a more laid back lifestyle and are getting organised early, by setting their bank accounts up from the UK.
"Before we've even left, we know our accounts are set up and ready to go. It's going to make such a difference when we're rushing around, trying to organise schools and a new home and routine."
"We've already been assigned a personal manager, from a team that's dedicated to new residents. When we move our money across, we'll also have access to special interest rates and discounts on some fees. With support like that, we'll be feeling at home in no time."
Are getting ready to set up their own business in New Zealand. They've had plenty of experience in India but are worried their lack of local business knowledge will make it harder for them to be successful here.
"We already know we can run a business - but it is very different here in New Zealand. When friends told us The National Bank had a dedicated business banking team for migrants, we felt much more reassured."
"They gave us our own banking manager, who also speaks our language. He's been able to translate difficult things, like the tax system and local business, so they are much easier for us to learn. We're now able to get excited about making a successful business and life here in New Zealand."
