Still time for matched savings*

There is still time to qualify for matched savings – if you are quick. Any deposits made before 31 December will help towards eligibility. For every $1 adult members aged 16-64 years old save in 2015, Te Rūnanga will contribute another $1. For child members (under 16 years old as at 31 December), Te Rūnanga will contribute $4 for every $1 saved. Matched savings for your 2015 savings are paid at the end of March 2016. For ways to save visit our website www.whairawa.com/save

* Te Rūnanga matched savings and distributions are available to all members under 65 years old and are subject to RSCT (retirement scheme contribution tax) deducted at your personal RSCT rate. Matched Savings are capped at $200 per member, per calendar year.
