Bonus Bonds to deliver gift to Kiwi babies

Bonus Bonds to deliver gift to Kiwi babies born on its 40th birthday

Bonus Bonds announced today it will celebrate its 40th birthday by offering a gift of $100 in Bonus Bonds to every baby born in New Zealand on 5 March 2010.

Since 1970 over $1.8 billion has been paid out in over 52 million Bonus Bond prizes. One in four New Zealanders currently hold Bonus Bonds, making it the country’s largest retail unit trust.

Head of Bonus Bonds Shaun Rees says offering a gift of $100 of Bonus Bonds to each baby born on 5 March is about celebrating 40 years as an iconic Kiwi brand with the New Zealand public - but with a view to the future.

“Bonus Bonds has been providing Kiwis with a fun and unique way to save money and have chances to win cash prizes for 40 years,” he says

“It is as popular as it has ever been, and is seen as a trusted brand in times of uncertainty. For our birthday we wanted to reflect the essence of why Bonus Bonds was created – to help New Zealanders save.”

To claim $100 Bonus Bonds for new arrivals, parents can go into any ANZ branch with identification and their baby’s birth certificate.
