Banking NZ
We recommend that you open an NZ bank account before leaving the UK.
The reason is that whilst in the UK you have to hand all the paperwork you will need to complete the application form and more importantly to enable you to meet the Money Laundering requirements.
Again, by doing this you will simplify your early days in NZ as all you will be required to do is show your passport as ID and the account will be activated. It also means that any funds traded by your currency specialist will be in your NZ account awaiting your arrival, currently earning double what it is earning in the UK.
