The New Zealand exchange rate will fluctuate and getting the best deal when converting your money into dollars to spend on your holiday can make a big difference.

Exchanging your foreign money into NZ$ is straightforward and can be done at any bank, Bureau de Change kiosk at airports, and within city centres, and at the major bank ATM's that are attached to most branches throughout both islands.

Exchange Rate

Exchange rates fluctuate which sometimes makes the amount of New Zealand currency provide you with a bargain holiday.

In my case, October 2008 exchange rate was excellent and I got a lot of dollars for my GBP.

The rate even improved while we were on holiday in NZ and we were able to have a few more experiences with our holiday budget than I had originally anticipated.

Exchange facilities are widely available for obtaining your New Zealand currency, and while you are travelling round NZ it is easy to obtain cash from banks and ATM services (ATM's are widespread).

All the major banks such as Bank of New Zealand, ANZ, Westpac and ASB, have 24-hour ATM's attached to their branches throughout both islands.

Exchange rates will vary in your home country and while in NZ. Do be aware that exchange rates can vary and that you may sometimes be charged an additional handling fee. It may be a good idea to ask if any such charges exist before making the transaction.
