In a significant update for New Zealand investors, Sharesies has announced that ANZ customers can now join ASB, BNZ, and Westpac users in making instant transfers to their Sharesies Wallet through BlinkPay.
This addition means all four of New Zealand's major banks are now integrated with the investment platform's instant payment system.
Blinkpay's account-to-account payment capability eliminates the previous waiting period, which Sharesies had estimated took up to nine hours for fund transfers, allowing investors to move money to their Sharesies Wallet and begin investing immediately. This frictionless payment solution removes the need for credit card transactions, offering a more streamlined and efficient way to manage investment funds.
Through BlinkPay's secure payment technology, Sharesies users can now enjoy instant, direct transfers from their bank accounts to their investment wallets, regardless of which major New Zealand bank they use. This seamless integration represents a significant step forward in making investment more accessible and responsive for Kiwi investors, allowing them to act on investment opportunities without delay.
