Choosing MAS as your preferred KiwiSaver scheme provider gives your business access to the tools and experts you need to support your employees’ financial wellbeing.
Why care about your employees’ financial wellbeing?
Financial wellbeing is about feeling secure about your financial situation, having control over your day-to-day finances, and being on track to meeting your savings goals.
According to Te Ara Ahunga Ora Retirement Commission
- 46% of employees worry about their finances
- 58% of employers report 'financial illness' drives absenteeism
- 83% of employers say employees' money problems interfere with their productivity.
How can we help your employees?
As one of their biggest assets, your employees’ KiwiSaver savings are an essential part of their financial wellbeing. Choosing MAS as your preferred KiwiSaver scheme provider ensures your employees are looked after financially, mentally, and physically:
- Personal MAS adviser assigned to your business with direct dial support

- Simplified KiwiSaver introduction for new employees, & MAS adviser assistance with fund choice & tax rate

Are your employee contributions aligned to your values?
Did you know some KiwiSaver scheme providers invest the money you contribute to your employees' KiwiSaver accounts in fossil fuels, weapons, or tobacco?
That's why we:
- Will not invest in companies whose principal business activity involves fossil fuels, weapons, and tobacco.
- Integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into investment decisions.
- Arrange for engagement with companies the funds invest in, to advocate for human rights, labour rights, anti-corruption, and the environment.
- Endeavour to vote on all shareholdings via our proxy voting agent and seek to use shareholder voting rights to influence companies to conduct their business in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.
- Ensure all eligible MAS KiwiSaver Scheme funds* are certified by the Responsible Investment Association of Australasia. MAS is also a signatory to the United Nations Principles of Responsible Investment and recognised as ‘mindful’ by Mindful Money.
