    Watch: KiwiSaver Changes and Opportunities for 16–17 Year Olds

    New KiwiSaver changes that encourage younger people to build good investing habits early.

    As of 1 April, 16- and 17-year-olds who are working and enrolled with KiwiSaver can receive employer contributions at the new 3.5% rate if they’re also contributing 3.5% to a KiwiSaver scheme through their pay.
