KiwiSaver Savings withdrawal to buy your first home

You may be able to withdraw some or all of your KiwiSaver savings (except for the $1,000 kick-start) to put towards buying your first home.

And you and your partner can combine funds to get access to more money.

Some complying funds don't allow you to withdraw your savings for your first home. If you're a member of a complying fund and want to use your savings for your first home withdrawal you'll need to check with your provider to see if they offer this.

Making a first-home withdrawal

You must have been a KiwiSaver member or member of a complying fund for three or more years. You can only withdraw money to buy your first home - not an investment property.

If you have owned a home before, in some circumstances you may still be eligible to withdraw your savings. Your scheme provider may require you to contact Housing New Zealand to determine if you're in the same financial position as a first home buyer.
