Buying crypto in New Zealand is easier than you think. We are here to show you just how easy it is for you and for anyone to get started with cryptocurrency.
What is cryptocurrency?
Before that, let’s get revisit the basics. What are cryptocurrencies exactly?
Well, similar to the New Zealand Dollars (NZD) that you’ve got in the bank and wallet, cryptocurrencies are a medium of exchange – albeit in a pure digital form.
Cryptocurrency is a digital medium of exchange. What differentiates crypto than fiat (government-issued currency) is that cryptocurrencies are stored and secured in a decentralised, digital ledger known as a blockchain.
Currently, at the time of writing there are over 19,000+ cryptocurrencies in circulation. This number is likely to grow as crypto adoption continues to rise and more blockchain projects gain traction.
Bitcoin being the first cryptocurrency that started it all back in 2008 as a way to provide a peer-to-peer transfer of value, soon followed Ethereum which innovated the way blockchain technology was implemented and paved the way for NFTs, DeFi, and much more.

Alternatively, you can also click on I don’t have an address! button and we can offer your other options. - Select your preferred payment method
If you choose to pay with Account2Account or POLi pay, your order should be fulfilled shortly after payment confirmation – depending on the coin type and network congestion.
If choose Bank deposit, your order will be processed and delivered once we receive your payment in our account with the correct reference – this can take a few hours or even days if the payment was sent over the weekend, as banks only process transactions during business hours.
And that’s it – you’re done!
