About RaboDirect New Zealand

RaboDirect - a different kind of bank.

RaboDirect is New Zealand's first internet only bank specialising in savings and investments. We don't offer traditional banking products like eftpos, cheques, high-interest loans, mortgages and credit cards. You can keep your existing bank for those services - just use RaboDirect for savings and investments (without the hassle of needing to switch banks).

Our Family

RaboDirect Online Banking Services is a part of the Rabobank Group, a Dutch co-operative founded in 1898. Rabobank is the world's leading food and agribusiness bank, and is one of the largest financial institutions in the world. RaboDirect is a division of Rabobank New Zealand Limited which has been servicing the NZ rural sector for over 10 years.

RaboDirect offers the same great benefits no matter how big or small your bank balance:

• Your deposits in RaboDirect are reinvested back into the NZ rural economy through Rabobank New Zealand's relationship with operators in the food and agriculture sector.

• All deposits with RaboDirect are guaranteed by the Rabobank Group's parent company, Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A. (Rabobank Nederland). The guarantee is unlimited in amount and unsecured.

In its 110 year history, Rabobank has grown to become a major global financial institution.

• The Rabobank Story

Rabobank's strength is built upon the commitment and knowledge of our employees, whose passion for customer service and deep industry expertise provide significant competitive advantages for our clients.

Proudly supporting Cycling at all levels

As the official partner of BikeNZ we pride ourselves on being local and supporting the community. Cycling is accessible at all levels, from the elite to every-day cycling. At the top end there is the focus on the 2012 London Olympics, and we want to be part of the journey in helping them get there. We're excited about the support we can give, at a time when the sport has never been more popular.

Corporate Responsibility

RaboDirect is part of the Rabobank Group – and shares their mission and values about becoming a sustainable business. Rabobank recognises that doing business in today's global environment involves much more than just producing financial returns. We believe in achieving a balance between the social, ethical, environmental and financial aspects of business, while still taking into account the interests of our clients, our employees and our stakeholders.

Rabobank is committed to leaving a small footprint on the planet. In an attempt to minimise the impact our business has on the environment, we have developed a program that we refer to as Rabobank and the Environment, to ensure that our work practices are sustainable. Directly or indirectly these initiatives give all employees the opportunity to influence the way we leave the environment for future generations.

Through the Community Leave and Workplace Giving initiatives, employees are encouraged to support local causes that are of interest and importance to them. They offer all employees the opportunity to actively participate in their community in the way that they choose, by either sharing their time and skills, or by making a financial contribution.

We do things differently

No branch network, low operating costs and minimal overheads mean higher interest rates and smarter Savings, Term Deposit and Managed Fund products including the Cash Advantage Fund for you.

We're not motivated by share price - as a co-operative banking group, we don't have one. We're not out to make enormous profits at the expense of our customers. And with over 10 million customers worldwide, this philosophy is clearly working!
