Frequently Asked Questions

What does Afirmo’s Money Tool do?2023-05-25T13:26:41+12:00

Afirmo has partnered with Bank of New Zealand (BNZ) to offer you a bank wallet account. This means that BNZ has issued Afirmo trust accounts, and Afirmo adds bank accounts under these trust accounts so you can use them to receive sales invoice receipts and save for tax bills.

Why do I need to link my bank account to Afirmo?2023-05-25T13:27:18+12:00

You don’t need to – but it is very helpful if you do. By linking your bank account, or by using Afirmo’s BNZ trust account, we can then see your business bank transactions and you can either match these to sales invoice or expense claims or add a category to them in order to produce a set of accounts. Afirmo uses this data to calculate your GST and income tax liabilities. You can save for these liabilities in the app, so you stay on top of your tax liabilities.

What is a business wallet?2023-05-25T13:27:04+12:00

A business wallet is a sub-account of the BNZ trust account. This means that any cash you hold with Afirmo is held in a BNZ account. Afirmo cannot access these funds as they are held on trust for you as our business customer.
