Smart Saver money is held by Kernel’s independent custodian, Adminis NZ Limited, at one or more NZ registered, RBNZ regulated, investment grade credit rated bank.
Deposits are ring-fenced from any assets and liabilities of Kernel Wealth Limited and Adminis NZ Limited. These are therefore not available for any creditors should there be claims or financial difficulties.
An ‘investment grade’ bank means the bank has a credit rating of BBB or above. While bank defaults are possible, capital adequacy requirements make this very unlikely.
Kernel is a regulated entity. We hold an MIS license, FSP registration and are a licensed KiwiSaver provider.
