Right now we are accepting registrations for Early Access. You can express your interest here and we will be in touch soon. We will be inviting members who have strong incomes and are already actively saving, to join and build their first home deposit using the Deposit Accelerator.

The first step is to express your interest for Early Access to Aera membership here. We will be steadily inviting members to onboard in the coming months and join the Deposit Accelerator to build their first home deposit and savings history. When the Ownership Accelerator becomes available later in the year, members who have been actively saving with Aera for at least six months will be eligible to apply.

Our member-only mobile app is home to the Aera Deposit Accelerator high interest savings offerings to help you build your first-home deposit faster. It’s also where you can view your account details, transaction history and where you can send and receive money, pay bills and manage your Aera Visa membership card.

The Ownership Accelerator will let Kiwis move into their first home with a much smaller deposit. Making monthly payments will both cover rent and build towards ownership of the house itself at a price you know in advance. If that market has risen above this price, your equity ownership accelerates much faster.

It’s designed for Kiwis who have great incomes and could service a reasonable mortgage, but are struggling to reach their deposit goals. We will be starting in Auckland with homes valued between $600,000-$1m and feel the immediate benefits of living in a home you’re on track to buy.
