The Post Office Savings bank was split into PostBank in 1987 and was acquired by [[ANZ Bank New Zealand]] two years later ending the bank.

In 2002 the New Zealand government created a new state owned post bank called [[Kiwibank]] as part of the [[New Zealand Post]] to again establish a postal savings system.<ref>{{cite web |first=Rob |last=Stock |title=About Kiwibank |url=http://www.kiwibank.co.nz/about-us/ |work=Kiwibank, external information |publisher=Kiwibank |date=c. 2008 |access-date=2008-11-24 |archive-date=2008-12-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081216012310/http://www.kiwibank.co.nz/about-us/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
