Rate Move Guarantee (in store only)

The need for protection is equally as important in the bedroom as it is when buying your travel money.

That’s where Travel Money NZ comes in. Rate Move Guarantee is our way of protecting you from exchange rate movements. If you purchase foreign currency in store and the retail exchange rate improves within 14 days, you’ll get the difference*.

Still don’t think you need to use protection? Have a look at this real life example.

When purchasing Japanese yen…

Exchanging NZD 2000 on the 8th of October would leave you with 130,732 yen. 5 days later, on the 13th of October, the same amount would have given you 132,885 yen, a whopping 2,153 yen more, or around $32 AUD. That’s a lot of ramen...

When purchasing euro…

Exchanging NZD 2000 on the 7th of August would have given you 1112 euros. 13 days later, on the 20th of August, the same amount would have given you 1130 euros. Aka an extra 18 euros or an extra croissant or two for every day of your two-week European holiday.
