Disclaimer

Plain-English terms for using this site: what we are, what we aren’t, and what that means for decisions you make about crypto.

General information only

The content on crypto.kiwi.nz is general information about cryptocurrency and related services in New Zealand. It is not financial advice, investment advice, tax advice or legal advice, and it does not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. We are not a licensed financial advice provider under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and we are not a Financial Service Provider.

Before making a financial decision, consider getting advice from a licensed financial adviser, and for tax questions speak to a registered tax agent or Inland Revenue. The Financial Markets Authority’s crypto guidance is a good starting point.

Crypto is high risk

Crypto-assets are highly volatile, are not legal tender in New Zealand and are not protected by any deposit guarantee scheme. Platforms can fail, be hacked or close — as happened with Cryptopia in 2019 and Dasset in 2023 — and transactions are usually irreversible. Only use money you can afford to lose entirely.

Accuracy and dates

We work hard to keep information accurate and show the date it was last checked (currently 15 October 2026). Fees, limits, licences, products and laws change frequently and without notice. Always confirm details on the provider’s official website and the relevant regulator before acting. We accept no liability for loss arising from reliance on information on this site, to the extent permitted by law.

Independence and external links

crypto.kiwi.nz is independent. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or paid by any exchange, broker, ATM operator or wallet provider mentioned on the site, and the order of any list reflects our editorial judgement. Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience and verification; we don’t control those sites and are not responsible for their content, products or availability. Trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used only to identify the services discussed.
