Finder Awards 2021
Kiwis have their say on the best brands in New Zealand for 2021.
At Finder our mission is to help Kiwis make better financial decisions. An important part of that mission is identifying and celebrating the brands that work hard for their customers, provide value for money, and deliver the best service possible.
The Finder Awards asks consumers from across New Zealand to have their say on how the brands they use have performed this year. Over the course of 2021, we will announce the winners for several key categories and celebrate those companies that are doing a great job for New Zealand consumers.
