Do you need a travel card for New Zealand?

Yes, as it will save you lots of money. If you only take your Australian debit card to New Zealand, up to 15% can be eaten up by fees including overseas ATM withdrawals, international transaction fees and poor currency exchange rates. This includes ANZ cards, they do not charge if you withdraw from an ANZ ATM but their currency exchange rates are some of the most expensive in the market for New Zealand currency.
