Love how everything is in your hand. Your statements, card replacement, proof of address even just to contact staff about changing where AP comes from. The BNZ app is one of the main reason I stay with BNZ.

The changes David made the website soooo much cooler.

### 5/5 — Control

*2026-05-25, version 17.34.1*

BNZ have the best app for being in control of your money. From opening accounts to paying lump sum amounts on your mortgage. I’ve seen some other banks apps and they have nothing on the BNZ app

Took few minutes to complete the task

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-05-12, version 17.33.0*

Extremely user friendly App and easy to use. Could not stand Westpacs App. Very happy with BNZ including better than advertised mortgage rates encouraging customers to stay unlike most places that offer better rates to only new customers. Well done BNZ!

*2026-07-29, version 18.3.1*

Very poor connections to use

### 1/5 — Recent update

*2026-07-27, version 18.2.1*

After the recent update, I’m finding I can’t log in every time to the app, sometimes the keypad doesn’t even come up and sometimes it’s just a blank screen I have to shut my phone down and restart to use the app again… very poor BNZ I use this all the time

### 1/5 — App freezing

*2026-07-24, version 18.2.0*

Recently after logging  in , try logging in later get a spinning circle and then gives up , click on the log in and nothing happens . Have uninstalled and reset up  it works then  doesn’t next time. Still no fix from Bnz  seems . App is useless should be zero stars

### 1/5 — Stopped working

### 1/5 — Activity tab doesn’t work from 2022

*2026-07-14, version 18.1.0*

Activity tab doesn’t work for my customer number . Raised a complaint in2022 still unresolved. Will take this up bankobudsman now.

### 1/5 — Activity tab doesn’t work

*2026-06-23, version 17.36.0*

Extremely disappointed that I have lived with issue of activity tab not working for last 4 odd year! I have raised this issue numerous times since 2022, 2024 etc I have offered to provide logs etc. 
it’s so frustrating that I was told 2 months back in May 2026 that my details were not entered properly and hence only my customer number is affected. 
I migrated from another bank to BNZ just to be able to track spending for our family house hold. 
If a feature doesn’t work for a set of customer then why even roll out that feature. 
Tech support goes numb and doesn’t even reply back to email complaints.
