In the spirit of Matariki ATMs around Tauranga have gotten a special Maori makeover.
A few select ANZ ATMs would feature distinctive Matariki-themed surrounds.
Created by Maori visual artist Simon Te Wheoro, the designs include a number of customary Maori patterns, like the taniko (Maori weaving) pattern and featured seven moko kauae designs to represent Matariki and her six sisters.
"Inspired by the tradition of navigating by the Matariki stars, the moko kauae are set against a triangular taniko pattern, which I've used to depict a traditional constellation identification game known as "mahi whai," Mr Te Wheoro explained.
"The taniko is represented in gradients of blue, to capture the feeling of new beginnings and new life.
