To join the Sharesies KiwiSaver Scheme, you’ll need to have an existing Sharesies account and be over the age of 18. If you don’t currently have a Sharesies account, you can sign up on our website.

Once you have a Sharesies account:

  • go to Explore > KiwiSaver tile under the ‘What do you want to do?’ section

  • answer some questions (what you’re looking to use your KiwiSaver for, and what type of funds you’re interested in)

  • Create your investment plan

  • accept the PDS.

When you first join a KiwiSaver scheme, you don’t have to make an initial or ongoing contribution. However, if you’re employed, there’s a minimum contribution of 3% which comes out of your pay and your employer will match your contributions up to a minimum of 3%.
