FinTechNZ

FinTechNZ community is the national connector for New Zealand's fintech ecosystem, bringing banks, insurers, wealth managers, tech firms, investors and policymakers into one membership body. It describes itself as Aotearoa's voice for innovation in financial technology.

Latest from the association

On 16 October it published "The FinTechNZ Manifesto 2026: building the future of finance in Aotearoa". The 30 September update focused on Consumer Data Right momentum and the future of banking, while an earlier notice announced the Annual Meeting and Executive Council Elections 2026. The meeting itself is set for 10 November at 4:30 pm. Monthly updates, such as the one in early September on the next phase of finance, summarise policy work and member news.

Working areas

Beyond general policy, the site lists thematic groups such as Sustainable FinTech and WealthTechNZ. Membership is pitched as a way to raise a company's profile, shape policy and build thought leadership.

Payment firms watching open banking in New Zealand will find the Consumer Data Right commentary and manifesto the quickest way to see where the local industry is pushing regulators.
