We know financial stuff can feel overwhelming—especially if no one’s ever explained it properly. At Outrigger Financial, there are no silly questions and no pressure. Just straight-up answers and support you can trust.

Here are some of the most common things we get asked. If you’re still unsure, we’d love to have a kōrero with you.

Frequently asked questions

💬 “What does Outrigger Financial actually do?”

We help Pasifika, Māori, and All individuals and families get clear, practical advice on insurance, KiwiSaver, and financial planning. That includes protecting your whānau, preparing for your future, and understanding your money without confusion.

💬 “Do I have to pay to talk to you?”

Nope. Our initial kōrero is completely free—no strings attached. We’ll take the time to understand your situation and talk about how we can help. If you decide to go ahead, we’ll explain any costs clearly before anything happens.

Bonus, my Insurance and Kiwisaver services are completely free for you!

💬 “Is your advice just for Pasifika and Māori?”

We’re proud to serve everyone—but we have a special heart for Pasifika and Māori communities because that’s who we are. We understand the unique challenges, values, and dreams of our people, and we make sure financial advice fits with our culture, not against it.

💬 “What’s the deal with KiwiSaver? Am I in the right fund?”

💬 “Do I really need insurance?”

If you’ve got people who rely on you—like a partner, kids, or even parents—then yes, insurance matters. It’s about making sure they’re looked after if life takes a turn. We’ll help you figure out what cover you actually need (and what you don’t), so it fits your life and budget.

💬 “Can you help with budgeting and financial planning?”

Absolutely. We love helping whānau create a plan that works. Whether it’s budgeting, goal-setting, or just understanding your money better, we’ll walk alongside you with advice that makes sense and respects your situation.

💬 “Is this one of those hard-sell insurance things?”

Not at all. We don’t believe in pressure or pushing products. Our goal is to educate and empower you to make confident decisions. You stay in control the whole way—we’re just here to guide and support.

💬 “How do I get started?”
