Kiwibank Orewa is taking over the space formerly occupied by NZ Post, with postal services shifting to Paper Plus, Orewa, next month.
In 2018, Kiwibank announced its intention to form a standalone branch in Orewa (HM July 18, 2018).
Since then, NZ Post, which shared premises with Kiwibank, has been looking for an Orewa agent for its services.
NZ Post says that working with a local agent is “more financially sustainable with the decline in mail and increase in parcel services”.
It’s also good for the local agent, as it has the potential to provide additional business for them. The NZ Post services will be available at Paper Plus Orewa from April 16.
There are also plans for the closure of Kiwibank and NZ Post in Coast Plaza, Whangaparaoa (HM May 13, 2019).
Last year, a Kiwibank spokesperson told the paper that the timing of the closure was dependent on NZ Post being able to find a postal partner in Whangaparaoa.
NZ Post head of retail, Mark Yagmich, said while the company carries out its search in Whangaparaoa there would be no change to services.
However, once the Whangaparaoa Kiwibank closes, its nearest branch will be in Orewa.
