Nature and purpose questions
As part of our anti-money laundering efforts and NZ regulatory requirements, we need to understand the nature and purpose of your investing. We’ll ask you a few questions about how you plan to invest to help us understand this. A best guess is fine!
Your responses won’t affect what you can access on the Sharesies platform, and can be updated any time in Settings > Personal details.
Verify your ID
You may need to verify your ID once you deposit over $1,000 NZD into your Sharesies Wallet.
