In a move to enhance Kiwi financial knowledge, Kiwibank has partnered with leading financial journalist Frances Cook, on her new independent podcast, Making Cents. This collaboration reflects Kiwibank’s ongoing commitment to supporting local media and helping Kiwi make informed financial decisions.
Making Cents aims to simplify complex financial concepts, empowering Kiwi to take control of their financial future – an ambition that aligns closely with Kiwibank’s Purpose of Kiwi making Kiwi better off. The new podcast follows her award winning and critically acclaimed series “Cooking the Books.”
Simon Hofmann, Kiwibank Brand and Marketing GM, added: “Supporting local media is not just about backing diverse storytelling in Aotearoa; it’s about ensuring those stories resonate with everyday Kiwi. That’s why we’re thrilled to partner with Frances to bring Making Cents to Kiwi audiences. The podcast weaves together real Kiwi experiences, shifts in financial mindsets, and expert advice to help listeners make confident, informed decisions about their finances that reflect a modern, progressive New Zealand.”
“Starting something new is always exciting and having the support of sponsors like Kiwibank means a lot,” Frances Cook commented. “I can’t wait to launch Making Cents to the world. Money is about building the life that’s right for you, and more and more New Zealanders are looking for ways to make their money work for them, rather than the other way around. That’s what Making Cents is all about – helping Kiwi smash their financial goals, and live the good life on the way.”
Making Cents launched today and will release episodes twice a week. On Mondays, listeners can tune in for in-depth interviews with inspiring Kiwi, while Thursdays feature the “Ask the Experts” segment, where Kiwibank experts will regularly join Frances and provide valuable insights to the conversation.
