WBS - Wairarapa Building Society

Established in 1873, the Wairarapa Building Society (WBS) is one of New Zealand's oldest financial institutions. It operates as a mutual building society, meaning it is owned by its members (customers) rather than shareholders. WBS's mission is to serve the financial needs of the Wairarapa community by offering a range of personal and business banking services, including savings accounts, term investments, personal loans, and home loans. Profits are reinvested back into the society to benefit members and support local community initiatives through the WBS Community Trust.
