Next steps

  • Safety is always AIB’s top priority, so please note the advice to stay out of any evacuated areas until it's safe to return and follow the instructions from Civil Defence and other authorities.   
  • It’s important that you only return to your affected homes and businesses if it’s safe to do so - making sure the building looks safe to enter and carefully checking the structure for damage, as well as gas, water or electrical lines and appliances.
  • If you need to lodge a claim we recommend notifying us as soon as possible.  You may be best to document any damage (either photo or video) and creating a list of all the damaged items prior to attempting any clean-up.  This is important as you may not be able to source paperwork for the items that have been damaged.

  • aibGROUP client update – FENZ levy changes from 1 July 2026

    News

    The Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) levy helps fund essential fire and emergency services that protect all of us, our homes, vehicles, personal contents, businesses, and communities. It is a contribution we all make through insurance policies. While insurers and insurance advisers collect the levy through insurance policies, it is important to know that the amount itself is set by legislation and sits separately from insurers own premium pricing. From Wednesday, 1 July 2026, changes to the Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) levy will come into effect across many insurance policies throughout New Zealand. These changes form part of the new FENZ levy regime and will impact residential, motor, commercial, marine, and specialist insurance programmes.
