What else should I consider when joining a KiwiSaver provider?
Can I change my mind?
Yes!Even if you do decide to change KiwiSaver providers, there is nothing stopping you changing your mind later.
You can decide to change your KiwiSaver provider at any time, but you can only be with one provider at a time.
As your new KiwiSaver provider, AMP will arrange for your savings to be transferred from your old KiwiSaver scheme to your new one with AMP.
After the transfer is complete, we will notify you.
The process normally takes about two weeks.
Keep in mind your old KiwiSaver provider may charge you a transfer fee (but we don’t charge for new transfers into the AMP KiwiSaver Scheme). You can check this by looking at your old KiwiSaver provider’s Product Disclosure Statement (which you will find on their website).
Consider what you may give up
You might find there are benefits associated with changing your KiwiSaver provider, like more fund options, services such as more help with your investment choices, and tools and online apps.But sometimes there are downsides and we want to help you understand what some of those things are before you decide to change your KiwiSaver provider.
• Impact
Make sure that your KiwiSaver is invested in things that you care about (and not in things you disagree with). There’s more than $100 billion invested through KiwiSaver. This money is owned by all of us, and is invested to build our savings for the future. But these investments can often contradict our values. At AMP we’re focused on investing our members’ money sustainably through the AMP-branded funds, to help build a future we can be proud of and an environment we can thrive in. Find out more about sustainable investing at AMP• Fund choice
When it comes to choosing the fund (or funds) you want to invest in with a new KiwiSaver provider, take a look at the different fund features that are available to you. KiwiSaver members choose which type of fund (or funds) they put their money into. Some funds are considered higher risk, which generally means higher potential returns over time, but with more ups and downs along the way and a greater possibility of a negative return. Others are considered lower risk, which typically deliver more consistent yet lower returns, with smaller ups and downs along the way. It’s important to be in a fund that suits your needs and your risk appetite. At AMP we’ve got over 20 funds to choose from. In fact, you can choose to be in up to 7 funds at a time (at no extra charge) Or, you can choose an investment plan that automatically updates your fund as life moves on - and if that just feels a bit too much, we’ve got helpful tools to help you figure out what kind of fund suits you best.• Service and Support
Does your current provider offer services that the one you are thinking of joining doesn't? Each KiwiSaver provider has its own level of customer service, communication, online tools, and access to expert advisers and fund managers. It’s important you’re with a provider who gives you what you want. Here at AMP we have a team of people who can help you from simple requests to concise financial advice. We feel it’s important that you have a provider who is there to give you the help and guidance that you need.• Access
Your current provider may have great online tools and resources to help you with your KiwiSaver. With MyAMP, members can view account balances and recent transactions, see how investments are performing, change funds and make extra contributions, and if you’d prefer to talk to a real person – we do that too!• Fees
Keep an eye on your fees to make sure you’re paying fees that you feel are fair. Your current KiwiSaver provider might be cheaper because it charges lower fees. Our sustainably invested, AMP-branded funds are now down to 0.77%. We’re totally transparent in what we charge – take a look here to see all our funds and their fees.• Investment performance
Maybe your current provider has had better returns meaning your balance grew faster than it would have with the provider you are considering. Remember that past performance is no guarantee of future returns, and that returns over different periods may differ.With AMP you don’t have to compromise on your returns when you choose to invest sustainably.

• Extras
Sometimes KiwiSaver providers offer other benefits to their customers, like exclusive member only discounts, which require you to remain a member with them if you want to keep these benefits. So, make sure you know what (if anything) you’re giving away by switching providers. Here at AMP, our KiwiSaver members get discounted insurance among other things, take a look at our Member Benefits for more information.How does the join process work?
