BANK of
MUM & DAD
BANK of MUM and DAD is not a registered bank in New Zealand
The term "Bank of Mum and Dad" or BOMAD is a colloquial phrase used to describe parents who provide financial assistance to their adult children. This may include helping their children with purchasing their first home, expenses such as rent, mortgage payments, education fees, or even starting a business.
The "Bank of Mum and Dad" has become a popular phrase in recent years due to rising living costs and increased financial pressures on younger generations. Many parents feel a sense of obligation to help their children, particularly as they may be struggling to make ends meet in a challenging economic climate.
Its estimated that $22.6 billion in cash and loans to adult children, helped first home buyers is now the 5th biggest home loan lender, according to Consumer NZ.
​
However, while the "Bank of Mum and Dad" can be a lifeline for some families, it can also be a source of tension and conflict. Parents may struggle to balance their desire to help their children with their own financial needs, and children may feel guilt or resentment if they perceive that their parents are sacrificing their own financial security to help them.
