What are the typical banking hours in New Zealand?

Typical banking hours in New Zealand vary, but most bank branches are generally open from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm, Monday to Friday.

Some bank branches may also be open during weekends, but it is best to check with the specific bank and branch for their exact operating hours. Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) are available at bank branches, along main shopping streets, and in malls, providing 24/7 access for basic banking transactions. International credit cards and ATM cards will work as long as they have a four-digit PIN encoded. Check with your bank before leaving home.
