How to log in to your account

We’re making changes to our online login process for the NZDF Savings Scheme’s members.

To access your account online you need to have a valid email and will need to set up a unique password. Our log in process is supported by multifactor authentication, so you can be assured that your personal information is secure.

We are here to help. If you are experiencing any issues logging in, please call us on 0800 333 787 (9am to 7pm, Monday to Friday on all business days). 

  • New customers will need to go through the one-time activation process to set up their new login details when logging in for the first time. It only takes a few minutes. Once your account is activated, you will only need your email address and password to log in going forward.

    To active your online account, please visit www.NZDFSavings.mil.nz, then click login and click the ‘Activate’ link. You’ll be asked to enter the following:

    1.       Scheme number. Please use the following Scheme numbers:

                   - Defence Force Superannuation Scheme – 402456

                   - New Zealand Defence Force KiwiSaver Scheme – 402434

                   - NZDF FlexiSaver Scheme – 402445

    2.       Then enter your member number
