Are traveller's cheques still accepted in New Zealand?

Answer: Traveller’s cheques are no longer accepted in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Banks, currency exchange counters and retailers do not cash or exchange them, so they are not a valid option for spending money.

What you should bring instead:

• Credit and Debit Cards: Visa and Mastercard work in most places.
• Travel Cards: Multi-currency cards such as Wise or Revolut are popular for low-fee spending.
• ATMs: You can withdraw New Zealand Dollars (NZD) from ATMs using your international bank card.
