We’re on a mission to put
1 billion dollars back in the pockets of New Zealanders!

We want to see more Kiwi dollars staying in New Zealand, helping Kiwis thrive.

Banks in New Zealand are earning at an all-time high, but most of the profits end up going overseas. Even less goes back into helping customers grow their money. We want to change that with Debut by creating a New Zealand bank that benefits all Kiwis.

Banking that’s better for all of us.

Better banking prioritises a positive customer impact over profits alone. Smarter banking gives customers a financial advantage while simultaneously building a sustainable banking business.

Effortless earnings for everyone 🤑

Money in your account shouldn’t just sit idle. If your money isn’t growing, it’s losing buying power from inflation.

Debut does
things differently.

We’re not like other banks.
Though, technically, we’re not
a bank (yet), but one day…

While you’ll find many of the same services offered by traditional banks at Debut, you’ll also find a few they don’t, and we plan to add many more. Debut is breaking the mould of traditional banking and building a revolutionary banking service shaped by Kiwi, for Kiwi. How many banks can say that (and really mean it)?

Let's think outside the square. Man thinking.

Getting started is easy-as.

Download Debut for iPhone or Android and open an account in the app.

Whether you’re a Kiwi or new to our shores, getting started with Debut is quick and easy.
