Giving back, it's part of what makes us different.

Since our partnership began, NBS and Tasman Community Rugby have helped nurture and serve more than 5,000 players, coaches, administrators, volunteers and fans. Together, we support 33 clubs and schools and play an important role in strengthening and connecting the rugby community across Tasman.

How much do you need for a house deposit? It might be less than you think.

For many people, the goal of buying a first home or moving to their next one feels like it’s still years away, and a 20% deposit is usually why. It’s not always the only way forward, and it doesn’t need to be the reason 'one day' never quite becomes 'now'.

Whether you’re weighing up a first deposit or wondering if your current loan still works for you, the next step is a conversation with someone who understands the local market. At NBS, that conversation is not with a call centre and the decision is made locally, by people who can explain your options in plain language and help you move forward with confidence.

If you’re buying your first home, talk to the team at NBS.
