Co-operative Bank – Fake term deposits

A scam offering fake term deposits using the name of Co-operative Bank is targeting New Zealanders.

Scammers are posing as Co-operative Bank staff and sending out fake product disclosure statements using the bank’s name, logo, address and registration details.

Co-operative Bank has confirmed it is not connected with these offers. Co-operative Bank has also confirmed it directs its customers to the banks website to view and download documents such as prospectus. If customers are in doubt, they should check details on the Co-operative website or contact the bank to confirm.

We recommend investors contact the relevant bank or financial institution through verified channels for confirmation before investing any money.
