From 19 September, Grosvenor will become Booster.

Why are they re-branding?

After almost 19 years of existence with a tongue twister of a name with British origin, we have reached a stage of development where we wanted a name which better reflects who we are and what we stand for.

We are proud to be a business built by Kiwis, operated by Kiwis, and for the benefit of Kiwis.  With a can-do attitude, we are inspired by the passion to provide all New Zealanders with knowledge and innovative solutions for their financial well-being.

We believe the name "Booster" better reflects our commitment to helping grow New Zealanders’ financial confidence.

How will you be affected?

While the name will change, we are still the same people and company you are used to dealing with. We will continue to work as hard as we have in the past to help you make sense of your money and plan for your future.
