Partial float of Kiwibank makes sense - business | Stuff.co.nz Kiwibank deserves the chance. Since it opened for business in March 2002 it has competed successfully against the big four Australian-owned banks to take 8% of bank customers, 4.5% of mortgages and credit cards and 3% of the small business market. Its customer satisfaction has tracked at 80-85% in Roy Morgan polls over the past eight years, handily ahead of the 70-80% range of the big four. Around 30% of the public say that Kiwibank would be their choice if they changed their main bank, and a similar percentage say it would be their first choice of mortgage provider. In contrast, the other banks rate only 5-10% on the same measures. http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/3806617/Partial-float-of-Kiwibank-makes-sense

Zopa has received an estimated $33.9 million in venture capital.
