- We are concerned that Kiwi Bonds Trust may be operating a scam.
It operates a website claiming to offer consumers a way to compare and find the best term deposit and bond rates in New Zealand.
It states that investments are “protected and insured deposits”. However, no such scheme is currently offered in New Zealand.
FMA has observed an increase in victims of investment scams reporting that they have put their personal details into websites like Kiwi Bonds Trust and have then been contacted by individuals purporting to be from well-known banking institutions.
FMA believes this website is a front being used to collect personal information from New Zealanders, which then enables overseas scammers to contact them with fictitious investment opportunities.
We recommend New Zealanders exercise extreme caution when dealing with this website and not provide it with any personal information.

Read the source in its own terms
The recorded category is attributed to the authority above. An authorization-related notice is not by itself a court judgment of fraud. Read the precise warning or finding and the jurisdiction to which it applies.
Compare the exact identity
No exact website or profile is supplied in this record. No address has been inferred from the name. A trading name alone may not establish the same entity. Retain the original communications, platform terms and payment records that identify your counterparty.
Dates and current status
Source registration, validation and modification dates are reproduced where available. They are distinct from this website’s actual release date and may differ from the original warning date. Historical information may change. Consult the linked authority for its current position.
Issues for legal review
The source notice is background to a legal assessment, not a decision on a reader’s individual claim. The relevant questions include the identity of the contracting or communicating party, the representations made, the payment history, the applicable terms and the forum in which a dispute could be addressed. The evidence must be assessed against the actual legal issue and any relevant deadline.
Report the matter to the firm
If your experience concerns the identity described in this notice, tell CRYPTOS LAWYERS what happened and provide the exact platform details, approximate dates and the parties involved. The firm will review whether it can assist, including conflict, jurisdiction and scope checks. A written engagement is required before representation begins.
Where a legal assessment requires transaction analysis, an independent technical investigator or recovery company may be instructed or referred privately on agreed terms. Counsel reviews the resulting report and assesses the appropriate lawful legal steps. A technical report or complaint filing does not itself authorize an asset restriction or establish an entitlement to payment.
