What Currency Does New Zealand Use?
New Zealand uses the New Zealand Dollar (NZD) as its official currency, symbol $ (code NZD). It’s divided into 100 cents and issued in both coins and banknotes for everyday use.

The NZD also serves as legal tender in several associated territories, including Niue, Tokelau, and the Cook Islands (where the local dollar is pegged 1:1 to NZD), and is used for practical purposes in New Zealand’s Ross Dependency in Antarctica.
What Is the New Zealand Dollar Called?
Officially it’s the New Zealand Dollar, abbreviated NZD — but traders and locals often call it the “Kiwi”, after New Zealand’s national bird. This nickname is widely used in international financial markets.
Is the NZD Getting Stronger Against the USD?
The strength of the NZD vs USD varies with global market conditions, interest rates, and trade data. As of late 2025, the NZD has been slightly strengthening against the USD due to U.S. dollar weakness and rate differentials.

To see current figures, use our live currency converter and sign up for rate alerts to spot the best moments to buy or sell NZD.
Is It a Good Time to Buy NZ Dollars?
Whether now is a good time to buy depends on your budget and the mid-market rate (the true average between buy and sell prices).
