Rate Move Protection

Secure today’s rate — and enjoy the better one if it rises*

Worried about exchange rates shifting after you’ve bought your travel money? With Rate Move Protection, you don’t have to be. When you purchase your currency in-store, if our Board Rate improves within 7 days, we’ll cover the difference.*

A little peace of mind can make a big difference to your holiday budget.

Real-world examples (because numbers speak louder than words):
 

Scenario 1: Japanese Yen
Exchange $2,000 NZD and you might walk away with around 182,540 yen.
But if our Board Rate lifted within the next 7 days, you’d score a discount — the same yen would have cost you about $40 NZD less. That’s money back in your pocket for a couple more steaming bowls of ramen or even a late-night karaoke session. 🍜🎤

Scenario 2: Euros
Swap $2,000 NZD and you might receive about 1,080 EUR.
With Rate Move Protection, if the rate improved, you’d spend less NZD for that same amount of euros — a saving equal to about 28.80 EUR (around $50 NZD). That’s your daily coffee and croissant fix sorted for nearly two weeks. ☕🥐

Figures are examples only. Exchange rates change often.
