Retirement Benefit
You can withdraw part or all of your retirement benefit or set up a regular
withdrawal on or after you turn 65. However, if you joined before 1 July
2019 and were aged 60-64 at the time, you may miss out on future
Government and compulsory employer contributions by withdrawing
before you have been a KiwiSaver member for five years.
Before returning this application, please ensure that you have:
1. answered all the questions in the relevant sections of this Retirement
Withdrawal Form;
2. completed the Statutory Declaration and had your signature witnessed;
3. attached certified identification in accordance with the identity
verification requirements in section 6;
4. attached a pre-printed deposit slip, or other pre-printed evidence of
your Bank Account Name and Number.
Processing timeframes
Partial withdrawalsWe aim to process partial withdrawal requests within
5-7 working days.
Account closures – We aim to complete account closure requests within
10-15 working days. These can take longer than partial requests because we
may need to complete a final claim for Government contributions on your
behalf.
These timeframes are based on correctly completed withdrawal requests.
If your application is incomplete and we need to contact you for more
information, it will delay the processing of your request.
If you wish to apply for some or all of your retirement benefit from the ASB KiwiSaver Scheme or set up a regular withdrawal, please complete this form
including the Statutory Declaration.

Retirement Withdrawal Form
A full withdrawal of your ASB KiwiSaver Scheme account balance will result in your membership of the ASB KiwiSaver Scheme ceasing. ASB Group

withdrawals and regular withdrawals are subject to a minimum account balance remaining, currently $2,000. If your withdrawal request would result
in your balance falling below the minimum, the Manager will make no payment unless you elect to withdraw the remaining balance in full at which

7. Declarations and authorisations
Pursuant to the Privacy Act 1993, please note that the purpose of collecting this personal information is to determine your eligibility for the retirement
benefit you have requested (or may request in the future) from your ASB KiwiSaver Scheme account. In addition, this information may be used to keep you
informed about other financial opportunities, products or services offered by ASB Group Investments Limited the (“Manager”) or its related companies.
It may also be used for purposes related to customer surveys and research carried out by research and direct marketing companies employed by the
Manager or its related companies. If you do not want to receive promotional material from the Manager or its related companies, you can tell the Manager
and the promotional material will not be sent.
The intended recipients of the information are ASB Bank Limited and ASB Group Investments Limited. The information is being collected and will be held
by ASB Bank Limited and ASB Group Investments Limited, FreePost Authority ASB, PO Box 35, Shortland Street, Auckland 1140. You have rights of access
to, and correction of, the information collected.
I agree to the use of my personal information for the purposes set out above.
I understand that my retirement benefit withdrawal request is subject to the Manager being satisfied that I am entitled to a retirement benefit.
I understand that my withdrawal value will be based upon the unit price (s) at the date my request is processed.
I acknowledge that, if I make a full withdrawal, on the receipt of my funds, the Manager of the ASB KiwiSaver Scheme will be released from all liabilities
in respect of my membership of the ASB KiwiSaver Scheme.
I understand that my membership of the ASB KiwiSaver Scheme will cease upon notice from the Manager that my membership is terminated.
I understand that, if I request either a partial or regular withdrawal, a minimum balance must be maintained. If a withdrawal will result in my account
balance falling below the minimum balance, I understand the Manager will make no payment unless I elect to withdraw the remaining balance.
I understand that if I have reached the age of NZ Superannuation Eligibility, but have not yet been a member of a KiwiSaver Scheme or complying
superannuation fund for 5 years, that this request serves as notice of my election that the definition of ‘grandparented member’ under schedule
1, clause 4(6) of the KiwiSaver Act 2006 does not apply to me, and that by making this election I forgo my right to any remaining entitlement to
Government or compulsory employer contributions I may have following the date that this request is accepted.
I understand that if I have mainly resided outside of New Zealand at any time during my period of membership, then any excess member tax credits
paid into my ASB KiwiSaver Scheme account will be deducted from my account prior to paying my withdrawal.
