Which currencies should I load?

We recommend you load a wallet in the local currency of each of the places you’re visiting. The currencies you can load are NZD$, AUD$, USD$, GBP£ or EUR€. If you spend in one of these currencies no additional currency conversion fees will apply.

If you’re visiting a destination that doesn’t use any of these currencies, we recommend you load some money into a NZ$ wallet to reduce your currency conversion costs. Full details on how the currency conversion fees are applied can be found in the fees and limits section.
