Testimonials

“Energetic, enthusiastic and professional. Highly recommended.”

– Theresa and Jeremy Holmes, on First Home Finder, Dominic Mistry

“Aera have been amazing at helping me to save for a home. I earn a good wage and so don't qualify for Government subsidies, but, living in Auckland means it's pretty hard to save for a 20% deposit and live at the same time! Easy to use app and great interest rates definitely help!”

“Impressed by the detail in all aspects of assisting with my recent property purchase. He regularly updated me on progress and promptly answered any questions I had.”

Using Aera has been easy, fun and rewarding. I love that it is so easy and transfer money in and out of, and the interest rates are the best around. There is a good choice of accounts on offer and there is really something for everyone. Whatever you are saving for - these savings products make great sense to use. I love the driving force behind Aera, and that it is also endeavoring to solve some real Kiwi problems. Couldn't recommend it more.
