Business finance, minus the admin

Emerge helps you manage spending, track expenses, and stay in control of your finances without the paperwork or hidden fees.

The driving force behind some of NZ's coolest small businesses

Built for the way you actually run a business.

Traditional banks weren’t designed for the speed and flexibility small businesses need. Emerge gives you simple tools to manage your money without the waiting, fees, or complexity.

  • Set up in 7 minutes
    Open your account from your phone. No paperwork. No queues. Just fast, simple access to the tools you need.
  • Say goodbye to receipt chaos
    Snap and store receipts in the app. No more chasing staff or sorting shoeboxes at tax time.
  • Stay on top of spending
    Track every dollar with real-time insights, spending limits, and smart categorisation.
"Having just launched Fremont Studio, I needed a bank account that I could get up and running ASAP. Emerge was the best choice because I could set up an account in minutes. It’s been an absolute dream so far and I haven’t looked back."

Elena Parry, Owner, Fremont Studio
