About this Guide

This guide tells you what documents to confirm your New Zealand bank account is fully functional.

When to use this guide

As an offshore person, you’ll need to prove you have a fully functional bank account with a New Zealand bank or financial institution. This means you have an account that:

• you have the ability to use for deposits AND withdrawals, and
• you have provided documentation to verify your identity.

Include the statement or letter from your bank with your IRD number application.
