Identification requirements
We are required by law to verify your identity and current residential address before processing a withdrawal. This is a
requirement of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Financing of Terrorism Act 2009.
You can confirm your identity and address by sending us certified/verified photocopies of the original documents as
outlined in section (d) of the withdrawal form.
If you have provided certified identity documents and proof of address to AMP after 30 June 2013 (and you are using
the same bank account) you don’t need to provide them again.

In the event that a withdrawal results in
your account balance falling below $1,000,

What if I’m leaving my employer?
When you leave your employer, you don’t need to
withdraw from NZRT; in most cases we can transfer
your membership to Your Plan.
Your Plan is your own personal plan within NZRT that
allows you to continue to save for your retirement.
If you do wish to withdraw from NZRT, your savings
will be paid once your employer has completed a
leaving employment form and the final contributions
have been received.
In this pack you’ll find information on how to withdraw funds from your New Zealand
Retirement Trust (NZRT) account. If you wish to withdraw your funds from a State Sector
Retirement Savings Scheme (SSRSS), please use the relevant form located at
