We believe all New Zealanders have the right to financial wellbeing, and we deliver meaningful social impact to people and whānau in New Zealand who need help with their personal financial situation.
We create sustainable solutions for our clients by securing their financial future and enabling them to become more financially capable. Our team of mentors, who are professionally trained and accredited by FinCap, deliver one-on-one financial mentoring and advocacy services in a safe and empowering environment.
They help clients enduring financial hardship to identify their goals and develop a strengths-based financial plan. They work with clients to identify best debt solutions, negotiate with creditors to reduce debt, set budgets, and provide ongoing support to improve outcomes.
Our mentors help clients and whānau on their journey to financial independence by ensuring they have more control over day-to-day finances, more ability to absorb a financial shock, and more financial freedom to make life choices and achieve their financial goals.
We support clients in every way, and work collaboratively with social services to ensure they get the right help.
We partner with Māori and Pasifika organisations for greater impact, including Te Puna Hauora and Grace Foundation, delivering financial capability to their peoples in meaningful ways. We set budgets and sustainable financial plans together, including clients always, to help them determine their own solutions so they can control their own financial future.
We want our clients to thrive and flourish, with positive experiences every time; helping them save and plan for retirement, leading them into home ownership, and providing opportunities for employment or promotion.
NSBS has a valued impact upon people and whānau in their journey to achieve financial autonomy, and on society and government. By building clients’ financial stability and supporting their long-term socio-economic development and inclusion, we ensure they’ll be less reliant on Government assistance and social services. We reduce financial stress and improve overall wellbeing, limiting the strain on the health system, and enhancing family situations.
