Before you invest

Crypto is different to other types of investments and has different risks. 

Crypto is generally considered a high-risk investment, which means it carries potential for higher returns, but also carries higher potential for loss. It’s not suitable for everyone, especially if you’re uncomfortable with the potential of losing some or all of your investment.

You should consider your financial goals, risk appetite, investment timeframe, and overall portfolio before investing in crypto.

Buy crypto in minutes

You’ll need to be 16 or over, an NZ resident, and have an NZ bank account. Crypto is also available for Kids Accounts.

  3. Browse crypto on offer
