Buy New Zealand Dollars (NZD) before travelling to New Zealand
As you prepare for your trip to New Zealand, it’s essential to learn about local customs and, most importantly, the local currency. In many situations, you’ll be able to pay by credit card, but in others, you’ll need cash in New Zealand Dollars (NZD), the country’s official currency. Before exchanging SEK to NZD, be sure to check the rates in advance to get the best deal. As a first step, it’s helpful to review the recommended daily budget to ensure you bring enough travel money in cash before departure.
Practical tips for planning your budget
Tipping isn’t mandatory in New Zealand, but it’s common to leave at least 10% of the bill if you wish to show appreciation. Plan for an average daily budget of 143 NZD to cover accommodation in a mid-range hotel, two restaurant meals, and public transport. If you’re hoping to experience New Zealand’s culinary delights, expect to pay around 22 NZD per meal at a restaurant.

When do you need cash in New Zealand?
New Zealand is a country where card and contactless payments are widely accepted. However, it is still useful to have NZD in cash in certain situations during your stay.
You will find small local farmers’ markets or roadside stalls throughout the country, where cash payments are strongly preferred.
In some remote areas of New Zealand, network coverage can be poor, making card terminals unusable. Having cash on hand therefore allows you to make purchases without relying on the internet.
Finally, carrying New Zealand dollars in cash is an excellent way to maintain control over your budget while limiting unnecessary spending. Paying exclusively by card often makes it difficult to have a clear overview of total travel costs, so using cash is a good habit to adopt. Don’t forget to exchange your SEK to NZD before departure to benefit from the best exchange rates!
