How to Set up internet banking
Step 1 Log in Go to ib.kiwibank.co.nz To log in you’ll need to use your access number. This can be found on the back of your EFTPOS or Visa Debit Card. If the access number is not on the back of your card, it would’ve been provided by the branch when your accounts were first opened. It’s important to note – you need to log in and have your password changed within seven days of receiving your temporary password. Enter your access number and temporary password and then click ”Log in to internet banking”.
Step 2 Change your password Re-enter your temporary password into the ‘Current password’ section. Create a new password and enter it into the second and third boxes making sure to follow the prompts on screen. Then click “Save changes”. Top tip: To stay protected, use personal details only known by you and avoid using information that may be found on social media. To make your password strong we suggest you include symbols and spaces. Remember to keep your password secure at all times.
