Summary: The Bank of New Zealand (BNZ Bank) does not allow the investing of stocks and ETFs directly on its banking platform. However, there are secure alternative ways to investing in stocks with a Bank of New Zealand account.
All you need to do is transfer funds from your Bank of New Zealand account to a secure brokerage platform. Once your funds have arrived, you can buy stocks directly through the broker. We suggest using the eToro exchange as it offers brokerage-free trading on stocks & ETFs.

It can be expensive to invest in stocks when you go through a traditional brokerage platform as they charge multiple fees like account management, ticketing, FX, brokerage and deposits.

In addition to zero commissions on stocks and ETFs, eToro does not charge any administrative or account fees. There is only one fee you need to consider which is the account inactivity fee (charged after 1 year of inactivity). For a full breakdown of eToros fees, you can visit the eToro Fees Schedule.
