I noticed while looking for calculators for the previous post that Gareth Morgan’s Kiwisaver.com now has a giant “How Do I join” link on the front page. That’s a great call to action, and a big improvement on earlier.
But sadly we still need to print off a completed application form and post it in. As a completely and utterly disorganised person who does not own a printer, loses bits of paper and cannot find a post office child of the internet I’ll struggle with this.
I suspect there are legalities involved, but can we make the application process fully online and completable in one session? If it is a Government requirement to have bits of paper (think of the inefficiencies) then why are they of all people not making it simple and easy for us to sign up for this new Kiwisaver thing?
