MS,

Can I assist? I cannot get you a NZ account, but I can help other ways,
maybe!

CEO of what?


  Can you recommend an NZ bank that accepts deposit accounts
  (preferably with VISA debit card) from non-natives, offers that
  6.5% rate, and doesn't soak you on conversion fees ?


What I'm looking for should be obvious: A debit card with low or no 
currency-conversion fees which I can use anywhere in the world, off a 
deposit account with a decent rate of interest, in a currency which 
equals or beats gold. If should also be easy to move funds into and 
out of the account, and not require an insane amount of bullshit to 
set up. The issuer should also have an 800 number (preferably 24/7) 
in order to deal with problems (such as placing a lock on my account 
in the event of a stolen card).

I have been informed that all banks in New Zealand issue debit cards but

you need to *front up* to get them.



You can't send funds out of the country online either but you can fax 

the New Zealand banks International payment orders.

 

Banks you could try are: 

anz.co.nz

asb.co.nz

bnz.co.nz

westpac.co.nz

 

 

Best,

Drew

Frankly, all members on this list SHOULD fly to NZ, and get a bank
account. The NZ internal P2P transfers are mostly dynamic...

... and come to lunch with me, when you arrive!

BTW, I simply call my bank, and request international transfers, mutiple
times per day.

What do you mean by front up? (You mean deposit actual funds? Well, 
that goes without saying for a debit card.)

the New Zealand banks International payment orders.


If I have a debit-Visa, then that's a moot point.

Here's what I want:

[1] I deposit account in a bank in a nation with a stable currency 
(i.e., which equals or beats gold in interest RoR).

[2] Issues a debit-Visa card which works flawlessly anywhere Visa is 
accepted. The issuer's systems would perform conversion on-the-fly 
with low or no transaction fee (so, for example, if it's NZ account, 
and I put in twenty bucks US worth of gas into my car in Chicago, not 
only will the credi-pay pump take the card, but I won't end up 
looking at a huge surcharge on my statement because I bought 
something that wasn't NZ-denominated.

[3] Movin' me swag back and forth to, say, Ameritrade, should be as 
painless as wiring to and fro from a US bank.
