Account Verification for Grant Payments
Updated 19 January 2024 at 11.25

As you may be aware, the Ngāti Mākino Grants for 2024 are now live. 

Any payments that are made directly to an iwi member's bank account cannot be made without “Account Verification”(a deposit slip, bank statement or a screenshot of your name and account number). This is due to the new Anti Money Laundering rules and the increasing phishing schemes that have been happening, our creditors team have had to update their payment process to provide additional checks of bank account information to ensure payments are going to legitimate people.

You can provide us your account verification by emailing admin@ngatimakino.co.nz or pop in to see us at our office 1256 Arawa Street, Rotorua. 

Kaumatua Grants

For those Kaumatua who provided their account verification last year your grant applications will automatically roll over.

Please call us at the office if you have any questions 07 343 6588.

Tena ra koutou e ngā uri o Ngāti Mākino,

He mihi tēnei ki a koutou katoa i whakakanohi i ou koutou, otira i ou tātou whānau ki tō tātou Rā Hauora katahi ano ka hori. Na to koutou taenga mai i ea ai te kaupapa.

Kai ngā ringa raupā i tae mai hei tautoko i te kaupapa, Poutiri Trust, Triton Hearing, Tino Kai, Krissie, Karen, Sonia kōrua tahi ko Geoff otirā kai to tātou tuahine a Te Oriwa. Katahi te rā te kounga o ā koutou nā mahi, o ā koutou nā kōrero. He whakapiki wairua, he koanga ngākau tā te marea i te otinga atu. E kore te puna o aroha, o mihi e maroke i te rā.

Kai ngā ringawera o te rā, Joseph koutou ko tō kāhui, kaore e kore i puta a pito, i hākoakoa katoa a ngākau na te reka o ngā kai i whakaritea e koutou. Me mihi ki a koutou kā tika me te mōhio, ahakoa ki tēhea marae tae atu koe, ko te kounga, te kore kounga rānei o ngā kai ka noho mātāmua ki te hirikapo, ā, kei taumata ano ēra o ngā kai e hoa mā.

Hei whakatepe i ēnei o ngā mihi, ka tīkina ake au i tērā o ngā kōrero “Ki te tika a muri, ka tika hoki a mua”. No reira ki a koutou e te whānau o te marae o Ōtamarākau me te kāhui o Ngāti Mākino Iwi Authority. Kia mōhio mai koutou, kaore tēnei rā i eke na te mahi a te taki tahi, engari na ngā mahi a te taki tini. Ko koutou i ūpoko pakarū, ko koutou te take i eke ai tēnei Rā Hauora ki tōna taumata.
