What is a second chance withdrawal?

If you are a previous homeowner but have not made a KiwiSaver First Home Withdrawal previously, you may be eligible for a second-chance home withdrawal.

To apply for a second-chance home withdrawal, you need to meet the same criteria for a First Home Withdrawal, and you will also need approval from Kainga Ora confirming that your financial situation is similar to a first-home buyer.
