Can you use Australian Dollars in New Zealand?

No. Australian Dollars are not accepted in New Zealand. All purchases, from café visits to accommodation, must be paid in New Zealand Dollars (NZD). It’s best to exchange your money before leaving Australia to avoid high airport fees and poor conversion rates overseas.

Where is the New Zealand Dollar accepted?

The New Zealand Dollar is used throughout all of New Zealand, including Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Queenstown, and the surrounding regions. While cards are widely accepted, especially in cities, cash is still useful in smaller towns, markets, or for tipping. Having a mix of notes and coins ensures you’re covered wherever you go.

Where is the best place to buy foreign currency in Australia?

If you like the reassurance of having local currency ready when you arrive in New Zealand, you have three main options:

Buy currency online and either collect it in-store or have it delivered to your home.
Visit a currency exchange store in person.
As a last resort, buy currency at the airport—though this is usually the most expensive option.

Online money changers like S Money are often the easiest and most cost-effective way to buy NZD online, though you’ll need to plan ahead. Companies such as Travelex also offer online exchange services, but it can take 2–5 business days for your cash to be ready for collection or delivery.

What is the cheapest way to buy New Zealand Dollars?

In Australia, for amounts up to $5,000 AUD, it’s usually cheaper to buy NZD online. For larger amounts, visiting a city-based exchange store can allow you to compare rates and negotiate a better deal in person.

Top ways Australians can buy NZD:

Buying online: Convenient and often the cheapest way to purchase NZD in cash. Order online, verify your ID, and choose home delivery or click and collect. Online rates usually track the real market rate.
In-store: Ideal for quick cash. Visit a money exchange in your nearest city and check rates and stock availability beforehand.
Overseas: Occasionally cheaper to exchange money in New Zealand itself, particularly in major cities. Best for top-ups rather than your main travel fund.
International money transfers: If sending money from Australia to New Zealand, use a trusted service like Wise or OFX. They typically offer better rates and lower fees than banks.
Travel money cards: Modern cards like Wise, Revolut, or 28 Degrees now offer transparent rates, multi-currency support, and app-based control for cashless travel.
