A lot of post offices are also Kiwibank branches and they can deposit money into Kiwibank accounts and a couple of others - I don't think they can do it to just any bank account, though.

If it is a Kiwibank account and the NZ Post shop also provides Kiwibank services, it is possible. 
It is also possible to do this with the other main banks too. 

 

Keep in mind that most of the 'free' bank accounts will charge for a manual deposit. Its cheaper to use electronic means where possible.

Its also a potential AML issue as it is hard to control bundling of various smaller deposits into one that would otherwise need AML documentation

@Batman Not if someone wanted to put in 50 cents over the counter and the fee on your account for manual deposits was $3

@shapes Like every one of your threads just get a bank account already. It'll save you so much trouble. Most banks have free accounts too.

 

I seriously don't understand why you still have not got one.
