What members need to know before 30 November
FindSomeone NZ has confirmed that members can continue logging in, browsing and messaging until midnight on 30 November 2026. After closure, member data will no longer be accessible through the platform.
BEFORE THE SERVICE CLOSES
Three useful things to do now
If you still use the existing service, deal with anything you want to keep before the closure date rather than leaving it until the final days.
Keep in touch with people who matter
If there is someone you want to stay connected with, arrange a safe way to keep in contact before the service closes. Take the same care you normally would when sharing personal details.
Check subscriptions and refunds
Review the official closure information for current details about paid subscriptions, message packs and any refund that may apply to your account.
A FRESH START
Looking for a FindSomeone NZ alternative?
For more than two decades, the service has been a familiar name in New Zealand online dating. Its closure means many people will be deciding where they want to build their next dating profile.
FindMyPerson is being built around a simple idea: help New Zealand singles understand more about each other before deciding whether to connect. Profiles can include interests, lifestyle, personality, relationship preferences and the things that matter most in a partner.
Instead of relying mainly on a photo or a single compatibility score, members can choose matching priorities and provide enough context for more considered introductions.
Same country. New possibilities.
Meet people whose lives may actually fit yours.
