According to BNZ director, retail and marketing Craig Herbison, the community will allow New Zealanders to raise questions, search and give answers, earn rewards and share information about money and banking.
BNZ Community will have two main elements, a forum for question and answer sessions and a ‘Good with Money’ blog.
Herbison said: "This year’s Money Week theme is around getting Kiwis fighting fit with their money, and we think that BNZ Community is a great place to start improving our collective knowledge about our finances."
The lender also plans to integrate the BNZ Community with its website and existing social media platforms.
Herbison said: "We know that our customers are increasingly seeking advice online, and that they treat advice from peers and online experts with high regard.
"We’ve launched BNZ Community to foster these really important conversations, and encourage a culture of peer-to-peer support in banking."
