Can I show my parents' bank account for the three months old funding requirement or does it have to be my own account in New Zealand?

Yes, you can use your parents' bank account to meet the three-month funding requirement for your New Zealand student visa.

You’ll need to provide:
- Proof of your relationship (such as your birth certificate)
- A sponsorship letter from your parents confirming their financial support
- Bank statements from your parents’ account for at least the last three months, showing the account holder’s name and transaction history
