"Wedge consistently beats mainstream bank savings rates, with no bonus-rate hurdles, no minimum balance traps and a clean digital experience. Wedge gives everyday savers a genuine alternative at a time where every basis point matters."

"The money is backed by cash and fixed-interest assets with a weighted-average AA credit rating, higher than the big NZ banks, and the return accrues daily so you watch the balance tick up."

"A huge congratulations to the Mint Asset Management and Wedge teams on the launch of the Wedge Trans-Tasman Bond Fund. We’re incredibly excited to partner with Mint on bringing this high-grade, diversified investment solution to market" says Managing Director Dave McLeish.

"Wedge is a New Zealand-based fund manager which launched in May 2025, on a mission to 'save New Zealand's savings' from low returns."

"The [3.15%] rate demolishes traditional bank offerings, and the PIE structure adds meaningful tax benefits for many savers. The daily transparency and compound returns create genuine engagement with your savings growth. It's built for modern saving: the app is well-designed, and account opening takes minutes - everything's digital, biometric-secured, and refreshingly straightforward."

"Six months after launch, New Zealand fintech Wedge hit $100 million in managed funds and nearly 2,000 customers, offering savings rates far above traditional banks and aiming to save Kiwis billions."

“While there’s been a wave of innovation in the savings sector internationally, with money managers providing smart, flexible alternatives to traditional bank offerings, it hasn’t hit New Zealand’s shores yet. But we’re proud to be changing that with Wedge" says Managing Director Dave McLeish.

"I'm surprised that no-one has tried to disrupt the savings market in NZ - there's lots of non-bank lenders but few alternative savings options like in other parts of the world. For example, US money market funds manage over US$7 trillion." - Dave McLeish, Wedge Founder.

"New Zealanders have been underserved when it comes to competitive savings rates, and we're here to change that" says Chief Customer Officer Andy McLeish.
