Retirement Income Group was awarded the 2025 MoneyHub Editors Choice Award for its Lifetime Home product winning the category ‘Favourite Reverse Mortgage Alternative Product’.
MoneyHub’s editor Christopher Walsh said:
“Lifetime Home is a game-changer in the retirement finance space. While traditional reverse mortgages can (arguably) be predatory with compounding interest that grows exponentially, Lifetime Home’s shared equity approach is transparent and fair. Retirees get immediate access to funds without the stress of monthly repayments while still benefiting from property appreciation.
What sets Lifetime Home apart is their commitment to education and ongoing support – they’re not just providing a financial product, they’re partnering with retirees for the long term. In a market where too many providers profit significantly from older New Zealanders, Lifetime Home represents ethical innovation that genuinely improves retirement outcomes. This is exactly the kind of product innovation New Zealand’s aging population needs, and we’re thrilled to see Lifetime leading the charge in creating fairer alternatives to traditional reverse mortgages.”
