Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to transfer funds to my KiwiSaver?

When you make a voluntary bank transfer into your KiwiSaver, it’s important to use the correct reference details so we can match the payment to your account. Visit How to make KiwiSaver contributions for more information.

Process times

• 1–2 business days for your payment to be invested.

• Another 1–2 business days for your Generate App balance to update.

This means your app balance is usually about two business days behind your actual account

Important to know

• Once money is paid into KiwiSaver, it’s generally locked in until you’re eligible to withdraw (such as for retirement or your first home).

• Always double-check the amount and reference details before making a transfer.
