NZD/USD Transfer

When converting NZD to USD, or United States dollars to New Zealand dollars (USD to NZD), with Direct FX, we can help you save money. Our real time exchange rates are significantly more competitive than a large bank’s foreign exchange rates. We specialise in knowing what drives NZD/USD currency conversion.

NZD to USD Overview: The USA is New Zealand’s second largest export market and third for largest for imports. This had made the NZD to USD exchange rate a primary focus for Direct FX for many years.

The NZD/USD exchange rate can be volatile at times, especially during peaks and troughs of the market. Our team will help you navigate market conditions when you would like to convert your currency.

4. Confirm Your Order

Market and Limit Orders

Market Order

Market order is a request from the client to trade at the current market exchange rate. Requesting an order at the market order rate from Direct FX does not constitute a transaction between both parties. Only if the client agrees to trade at the quoted exchange rate is a transaction in place.

Market orders can be requested for amounts equal to or greater than NZD 5,000.00 or the foreign currency equivalent.

Limit Order

Limit order is agreeing to exchange currency at an exchange rate not currently available.

For example, if the client would like place an order to sell AUD and buy USD at USD 0.8000, but the current rate was USD 0.7800, the client has the option to place a limit order to sell AUD and buy USD when the rate reaches USD 0.8000.

Direct FX will manage the client’s order until completed. Limit orders can be placed for amounts equal to or greater than NZD 5,000.00 or the foreign currency equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to your FAQ's

The global foreign exchange market has an average daily turnover of 3 to 4 trillion. This means that it is so big that no one participant (except central banks) can influence or continually predict market moves.

However, we are in a very unique position, in that we are in constant contact with and transact directly for, the bank currency traders in our region.

This means we can provide our personal clients with:

  • The most up to date insight into what may be driving currency moves
  • An ability to directly access the views of bank currency traders
  • A lot more than just the financial savings our exceptional exchange rates provide

We will give you general product advice, in plain English.
We will explain the choices, benefits and risks of foreign exchange products.
We can discuss recent and historical levels of the currencies you are exposed to.
We can give you an overview of the current market consensus.

We will never, however, claim to know where currencies will trade in the future, or that we can achieve the best possible execution level for you.

No one can promise this.

Ultimately every client must make their own transaction decisions based on their specific currency requirements and situation. We believe access to our advice allows our personal clients to:

  • Make their own informed decisions
  • Gain a level of insight they would not get from their bank
  • Receive value from our service that is in addition to receiving an exceptional exchange rate

Be very wary of anyone or any company, who claim to provide more.
