  • You can make both regular and lump sum contributions, and alter the amount of your contributions at any time.
  • Your funds are accessible at the age of 55, unlike KiwiSaver members who cannot access their funds until the age of entitlement to New Zealand Superannuation, currently age 65.
  • Prior to age 55 you may also be able to withdraw a minimum of $10,000, up to a maximum of 20% of your total superSTART® funds, per annum.
