NBS

NBS Our aim is to offer you nothing but the best service through our comprehensive and competitive range of banking and financial services.

NBS is New Zealand’s oldest Building Society. NBS was founded in 1862 to provide housing and personal finance in the Nelson region. NBS is a building society registered under the Building Societies Act 1965. NBS has expanded into the Tasman, West Coast, Golden Bay and Mid Canterbury regions and continues to offer traditional banking services: loans, deposits and transactional banking to retail and

SME customers. The predominant lending activity remains the provision of owner-occupied home loans. NBS is not a registered bank.

At NBS, we go that bit further for our communities. Since 2016 we’ve invested more than $8 million back into hundreds of sporting, arts, health, educational and environmental organisations.

Our people live in and believe in our communities. So much so, they do their bit too. Like Amy from our NBS Greymouth branch, who is involved with multiple kids sports groups.

Whether it’s an everyday account, savings, investments or a home loan, banking with NBS helps support something bigger than banking alone.

It's here, our NBS Nelson Giants Hoops for Charity season wrap.

💙 20 charities and not-for-profit organisations supported
💙 $7,500 donated back into the Nelson Tasman community
💙 20 legendary volunteer players

When you choose to bank with NBS, you choose to give back to the community. One of the ways we do this is through our support of NBS Nelson Giants and our NBS Hoops for Charity initiative. It takes a pretty extraordinary person to shoot hoops in front of a packed stadium crowd. Shout-out to those who put their hand up to represent our 20 community groups this season. Legends!
