About the charter
Our relationship charter sets out principles for maintaining the best regulator-regulated relationships possible. It commits Te Pūtea Matua and the financial sector to a mutual understanding of appropriate conduct and culture.
The charter is underpinned by the principle of te whakatōpū — to bring together, consolidate, and combine our efforts.
The charter was introduced to banks in 2018. It was extended to insurers in 2021 and to non-bank deposit takers in 2023.
What the charter aims to do
We aspire to build and maintain the best regulator/regulated supervisory relationships possible with all our regulated entities.
This charter represents a mutual understanding of how the parties will work together to achieve this aspiration.
