How do I withdraw money from my KiwiSaver account?

KiwiSaver is a retirement scheme that keeps your money in a locked investment until you reach the age of 65 and are eligible to make a retirement withdrawal. There are a few other circumstances where you can make a withdrawal from your account, such as if you're purchasing your first home in NZ, are seriously ill, experiencing significant financial hardship or have moved overseas permanently (except to Australia).

If one of these situations apply to you, please log into your account and download the appropriate form from the Forms/Documents section.
