Why freelancers in New Zealand use it

Many New Zealand freelancers work for clients in Australia, the US and Europe, and almost every work tool bills in US dollars. If you get paid in USDT or USDC, the card lets you pay for those tools with no conversion and no waiting for an international transfer.

Get paid in USDT, spend in dollars

At supermarkets and stores in New Zealand

It is a virtual card: to pay in a physical store, add it to Apple Pay on your iPhone (Apple Pay works in New Zealand) and tap your phone on the terminal. It works at supermarkets like Woolworths, New World, Pak'nSave or Four Square and any store that accepts contactless Visa. On Android, if Google Wallet is available on your phone, add it to Google Pay.

Mind the currency: stores in New Zealand charge in NZ dollars. Those purchases are converted from your US dollar balance at Visa's exchange rate. The 0% fee applies to what is charged in US dollars.

Where to get USDT in New Zealand

In New Zealand you can buy USDT with NZ dollars on local or international exchanges.

If you already hold USDT on an exchange or in your wallet, just send it over a supported network: Polygon, BNB Chain, Base, Solana or Tron. The balance is held in US dollars.

  3. Enter your address in New Zealand as it appears on your documents.
  4. In about 5 minutes you have your card: top up with USDT or USDC and use it online or with your phone.
