Christmas Connection - Send a message to a loved one who has passed
Hi everyone
Christmas Connection has STARTED, this is a heartfelt initiative designed by Sarah Robb from @springwithsarah of Christchurch to bring comfort and connection to those who may find this time of year challenging due to the death of a loved one. We are now bringing this to Wellington also.
We invite you to be a part of this meaningful journey by sharing a personal message to your loved ones who have passed away. Your words will be etched onto wooden Christmas decorations, creating a beautiful and poignant memorial throughout December. On the days leading into Christmas, these heartfelt messages are ceremoniously burned in Wellington, allowing them to be sent to your loved ones who have passed away.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
