Heartland Bank wins Canstar’s Bank of the Year Savings Award for seventh year in a row

We are pleased to announce that Heartland Bank has been named Canstar’s Bank of the Year Savings for the seventh consecutive year. This award recognises the institution that offers customers the most compelling combination of products, features and tools across savings accounts and term deposit offerings, as evaluated within Canstar’s Savings Account Star Ratings profiles.

The Canstar research team acknowledged our impressive suite of savings accounts and term deposit products, as well as our market-leading rates.

In addition to this achievement, our commitment to excellence is further exemplified by three of our savings accounts receiving the Canstar Outstanding Value Award for 2024, each with a 5-Star Rating. Our Direct Call Account has now secured this accolade for six consecutive years (2018-2024), our 32 Day Notice Saver for three years (2022-2024), and our 90 Day Notice Saver for two years (2023-2024). The new Digital Saver Account, introduced in October 2023, was not eligible for an Outstanding Value Award or Star Rating this year due to its recent market entry.

Heartland Banks’ savings accounts are designed to help Kiwi make the most of their money. They are highly competitive, flexible and easily accessible – with different options to suit a range of needs.

Heartland Bank General Manager, Retail Keira Billot said “We are delighted to receive this award for the seventh consecutive year. This recognition underscores Heartland Bank’s unwavering commitment to delivering value for our customers, particularly at a time when every dollar counts”.

Tom Slee, Canstar Group Manager – Wealth, Health & New Zealand, emphasised the importance of saving and commended Heartland Bank’s rates and market-leading savings accounts as valuable tools for all New Zealanders to secure their financial futures. Tom said, “Finding the motivation to save can be hard, especially when budgets are tight, but it’s always important to have savings to fall back on should your finances become squeezed.

“Heartland Bank’s rates and market-leading savings accounts are tools that all Kiwi can use to earn great returns and plan more secure financial futures. That Heartland Bank has won our award for the seventh consecutive year shows that whatever the economic climate, savers can rely on Heartland Bank to deliver market-leading returns. Well done and congratulations to the team at Heartland Bank.”
