Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 932 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. People frequently praise the seamless online ordering process, noting how convenient it is to arrange their travel money and pick it up locally. Branch staff members are widely described as extremely friendly, approachable, and very efficient when handling daily transactions and explaining card usage. However, some people mentioned receiving large banknote denominations, such as hundred-dollar bills, which made spending and getting change difficult in cash-reliant destinations. A few reviewers also noted experiencing frustrating wait times and lengthy queues at specific store locations when arriving to collect their pre-ordered currency.

Superstar in Nelson!

The agent in Nelson (and shamefully have forgotten his name) was excellent on all 3 of our interactions.
He "went the extra mile"
I was also able to observe him deal with other customers while waiting, and he showed the same patience and kindness to all. A difficult task as many of the queries would have been the same old, same old!

Easy to order and arrived quicker than scheduled. Staff was friendly and provided excellent service.

However, it would be better to have the place inside the store rather than in open area like Albany Branch.

Rate not that great

I liked the convenience of using it as it was accepted most places apart from one of the supermarkets I went to.
I was disappointed that the rate given of 79c was not that great as if I used my own debit card it was 83c. Being a BNZ customer I thought there was a better rate but I think what I got was what any non BNZ customers would have. I was also told there were no fees for withdrawal from an ATM and I was charged $7.50. Overall I don’t think I saved anything by using this card and perhaps would have been better off with my debit card with the rate difference.

I like how easy it is to top up from credit card, but fees are high and currency exchange rates are very low. I would use wise if they didnt have a withdrawal limit

Happy traveller

Love that I could get the card on the spot and very easy to use overseas and the instant ability to top up the card. Only negative is, I think a better exchange rate could be offered. Thanks
