Expect to know what KiwiSaver is:

KiwiSaver is an exciting government initiative to encourage individuals to save for their retirement. KiwiSaver is voluntary and New Zealand citizens and permanent residents under the age of 65 are able to join. In an effort to encourage people to join, the government will  contribute $1,000 (known as a kick-start) and will subsidise a KiwiSaver account with a "member tax credit" of up to $10 per week.

Our KiwiSaver solution: SuperLife

As part of our promise to bring real service to banking, TSB Bank is committed to being involved in KiwiSaver. It is with this in mind that we have carefully chosen a KiwiSaver provider to ensure your retirement savings will be working for you. SuperLife Limited is 100% New Zealand owned and a KiwiSaver scheme provider. TSB Bank's KiwiSaver solution is provided through SuperLife Limited's KiwiSaver scheme and offers employers, employees, non-employees and children, low cost professionally managed retirement savings funds.

To join SuperLife for KiwiSaver (TSB Bank's KiwiSaver solution)

• New employees

If you are a new employee, aged 18 to 64, the law requires that you are auto-enrolled in KiwiSaver. You must contribute 2% of your gross taxable pay from day one of your employment. From 1 April 2013, this becomes 3%.

You may opt-out after two weeks (day 14) and before the end of eight weeks (day 56). You can opt-out after 8 weeks only in exceptional circumstances. If you do not opt-out, you will be required to save the minimum for at least a year. To opt-out you must complete the IRD form KS10.

If you decide to stay a member and not opt-out, you should complete the TSB Bank's KiwiSaver solution membership form and send it to SuperLife.

• Other employees under 65

Any other employee under 65, can join KiwiSaver, but has to “opt-in”. To opt-in:

- If you are 18 to 64: complete the IRD KiwiSaver deduction form (KS2) and give it to your employer and complete the TSB Bank's KiwiSaver solution membership form and send it to SuperLife.

- If you are under 18: complete only the TSB Bank's KiwiSaver solution membership form and send it to SuperLife.

• Other individuals

If you are not an employee, e.g. you are self-employed, not working, or if you are a child under 18 years of age, you can join KiwiSaver by applying direct to a KiwiSaver provider. You can do this by completing the TSB Bank's KiwiSaver solution membership form  or the TSB Bank's KiwiSaver solution membership form - for children and, if applicable, SuperLife's KiwiSaver Direct Debit form. Once completed send them to SuperLife.

Choose TSB Bank's KiwiSaver solution with SuperLife

You can choose which KiwiSaver scheme your savings go to. If you do not choose a KiwiSaver provider, the IRD will randomly allocate you to a default provider and your contributions will be invested in a default investment strategy. This may not be the best option for you.

Employer solutions

Simplifying the KiwiSaver process

Employers are required to provide new employees (and existing employees on request) with a KiwiSaver pack from the IRD. The IRD pack outlines the choices they have and what will happen if they don’t make a choice. Employers will derive the most benefit by selecting a preferred KiwiSaver scheme for its employees.

SuperLife (TSB Bank’s KiwiSaver solution) makes it easy for you and your employees to enjoy the benefits of KiwiSaver. Your employees will avoid having the IRD assign them to a random KiwiSaver provider who’ll set them up with a default investment strategy that is unlikely to suit their needs. SuperLife simplifies the enrolment process, reducing the KiwiSaver compliance demands on you, the employer. It also enables you to provide your employees with the opportunity to make an informed choice.  

Choose a provider - SuperLife

The government incentives associated with KiwiSaver – the $1000 kick-start and member tax credit of up to $521.00 per year, together with the requirement for employers to contribute, will result in more employees wanting to join and will increase the demands on the employer. Choosing SuperLife for your employees makes good commercial sense and will allow you more time and freedom to focus on what you do best - manage your business. SuperLife will:

• Simplify the process for you the employer.
• Reduce the complexity for employees.
• Provide employees with better information and more options, allowing them to make better decisions that give them better outcomes.
• Reduce on-the-job distractions to employees with most being in the same scheme.
