The Original Term Deposit!

Slide Icon

Back in the day, loads of Kiwis adventured around Europe in a beloved Kombi van. They bought them, named them and often sold them on for more than they paid for at the end of the tour.

Slide Icon

The Kombi was their transport, their home and the epitome of every adventurous goal they wanted to kick – an investment that gave back in every way.

Slide Icon

And that's why we love the Kombi - the original term deposit that gives us the choices to live the life we choose, with more options.

Jump on board, we'll take you further.
