Wio Bank Business Account for New Zealanders

Why Wio Bank

In our experience, if Wio Bank is not the right fit for your profile, we say so and introduce you to a bank that is, because a well-matched file is approved faster. As we tell every client, account opening at Wio Bank is a compliance process, not a sales process: the bank wants to understand who you are, what you sell, who pays you and where the money comes from. On the ground, new Zealander applicants benefit from the fact that Wio Bank already has many New Zealander shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise New Zealand documents and name formats instantly.
