Episode Six and Sharesies partner to launch new debit card linking everyday spending to long-term investing
New program allows New Zealanders to grow wealth with every transaction
Episode Six’s modern card issuing and ledger technology will power Sharesies’ new debit card offering, enabling multi-currency support, virtual account provisioning, and integrated foreign exchange capabilities. This infrastructure allows Sharesies’ customers to move seamlessly between spending and investing within a single platform.
"Customer experience is at the heart of everything we do. It’s fantastic to partner with a company that truly understands this and offers a solution that perfectly supports our goal. With our debit card, we want our customers to feel confident and in control of their spending while actively supporting their financial future,” says General Manager of Sharesies Personal, Scott Nixon.
“Sharesies is at the forefront of making investing accessible to all, and this partnership takes that vision further by embedding payments directly into wealth management” said Daryn Griggs, Managing Director, Asia Pacific at Episode Six. “Together, we’re enabling customers to access flexible, modern financial products built for the way people live and invest today.”
The partnership reinforces both companies’ shared vision for making finance more inclusive and adaptive to customers’ needs. By connecting investing and payments through technology, Sharesies and Episode Six are redefining how financial ecosystems can empower everyday investors.
