Author:admin Last Modified Date:

Living and working in New Zealand, I get paid in New Zealand dollars, but I often need to send my hard-earned New Zealand dollars back home. If you're still sending money through your bank's app or website, it's time to be WISE, not optional.

Living and working in New Zealand means you'll be paid in New Zealand dollars, so it's no surprise that one of the first things many newcomers to the country do is find a place to live and open a New Zealand bank account.

If you've been living or immigrating to New Zealand for a long time, you may be thinking, "I'll just spend my New Zealand dollars in New Zealand, but I need to send money back to Korea.. Here's when to send New Zealand Dollars to South Korea

  • Korean Life Insurance, Real Expense Insurance Direct Deposit
  • Parents' birthdays, gifts (cash), and friends' celebrations
  • Sudden emergencies (parent's doctor's appointment, family needs money, etc.)
  • When paying for items on Coupang and Naver Shopping (debiting your account after making a bank draft or credit card payment)
  • When you learn something from a domestic online course and pay for it
  • When you want to keep your local number When you pay your cell phone bill
  • Invest in domestic, U.S. stocks (if you already opened a domestic stock account before coming)

You live in New Zealand, you work in New Zealand, you spend New Zealand dollars, but you're going to need to send New Zealand dollars to South Korea more than you think, so you're going to need to have a certain amount of New Zealand dollars in your South Korean account to be prepared for things that might happen, whether it's intentional or unintentional.


2) 송금에서 가장 중요한 것은 수수료 보다 시간

Living in New Zealand, I think time is the most important thing when it comes to sending NZ dollars to South Korea. 지금부터 설명드릴 WISE는 뉴질랜드 그 어떤 은행보다 빠른 송금 시간을 가지고 있습니다.

There have been times when I've needed to have enough funds in my bank account for an immediate payment, but forgot to do so. With a New Zealand bank account, I think it took a few days.

At the time, I didn't know WISE existed, and I was in the early stages of immigrating to Korea, so I didn't know much about these international money transfer services.

At the time, my mindset was that the high fees were worth it and I wanted the transfer to go through quickly, and I still prioritize time over fees every time I send money.


WISE, the expat essentials

WISE is an international money transfer service that exchanges the currency of most countries in the world for the currency of the country you want to send money to. For example, for me, this would be sending New Zealand dollars to South Korea.

We used to be called Transfer Wise, but we've cleanly changed our name to WISE, and we're now headquartered in London, UK, and listed on the London Stock Exchange.

The founders were inspired to start the company by the frustrations they experienced while working abroad and needing to send money back home (high bank fees and long transfer times).


1) WISE Advantages

WISE is available on the website and mobile app. WISE benefits include

  • Lower fees than banks
  • Fast money transfers (sending New Zealand dollars to South Korea takes 5-10 minutes)
  • Intuitive, user-centered interface (easy to use)


2) Install and download WISE

WISE를 PC에서 사용할 경우에는 웹사이트로 접속하셔서 사용하시면 되고, 모바일 앱으로 사용할 경우에는 WISE 앱을 다운로드 받으셔야 합니다. 구글 플레이, 앱 스토어 용 각각 wise 홈페이지 제일 아래까지 스크롤 하시고 다운로드 받으실 수 있습니다.


3) How to use WISE

WISE 웹사이트를 기준으로 말씀드리도록 하겠습니다만, 모바일 앱에서 하셔도 동일한 과정을 거칩니다. That's all you need to remember when sending money from abroad to Korea through WISE.

  • Create a WISE account (a currency account of your choice)
  • Send money from an overseas bank account (e.g., Bank of New Zealand) to your WISE account
  • Send money from your WISE account to a Korean account


[1. Create a WISE account]

Create a WISE account (to open)

You can open a WISE account in your favorite currency by clicking the button labeled +OPEN on the homepage. A structured system that basically transfers money from overseas bank accounts to WISE accounts and then to Korean bank accountsfor example.


Choose which currency to create a WISE account in

Select the Balance item to send and receive money.


Select your preferred currency type when creating a WISE account

Next, create an account in the currency of your choice. If you have a New Zealand bank account, you can choose New Zealand dollars. I have New Zealand Dollar, US Dollar, and Japanese Yen accounts in WISE.

Once this is done, you should see a button next to OPEN with NZD written on it, as shown in the first photo. (WISE Account Creation Success)


[Second. Send money from a New Zealand bank account to a WISE account].

Once you've created a WISE account in New Zealand, you should be able to click on it and see a screen like the one above. Now we're going to import money from our New Zealand bank to our WISE account to send to Korea.

[Glossary].

  • Add: Send from New Zealand bank account to WISE New Zealand Dollar account
  • Convert: Convert between US, Japanese, New Zealand dollars, etc. if you have multiple WISE accounts
  • Send: Send money from your WISE New Zealand Dollar account to your South Korean bank account
  • Receive : The opposite of Send


Moving from a New Zealand bank account to a WISE account

You want to import $2000 from your New Zealand bank account to your WISE account. Using the POLi payment system will incur a fee of NZD $2.36. You can choose how you want to pay the fee, in the photo above, select Change.


Fee types

Fees가 아예 없는 방식이 바로 Bank transfer입니다. 수수료는 없지만, 몇 시간에서 하루 정도 시간이 걸린다는 것이 단점입니다. 대신에 POLi 시스템을 사용하면 수수료는 $2.36 들지만 바로 송금이 된다는 점이 강점입니다.

Simply select your preferred fee format, continue, enter your New Zealand bank account number or customer number (found on your card), confirm, and you'll see your money quickly deposited into your WISE account.


[Third. Send money from WISE account to Korean account].

You should now have $2000 in your WISE New Zealand Dollar account. Select the SEND button to send these New Zealand Dollars to South Korea.

Simply enter the amount you want to send to South Korea, and we'll calculate the transfer fees, the exchange rate at the time, and show you how much money you'll receive in Korean won.

As I mentioned earlier, this is a timeline of how I went from my New Zealand bank account to my WISE account and then to my Korean account. It really took as little as 5 minutes, 10 minutes at the most.

New Zealand Dollar to South Korea remittance history

I sent $2,000 New Zealand dollars, which cost me $13.86 (about 1200 KRW). When you see this, the fee will be deducted from the amount you want to send, so if you need to send an exact amount, please be generous with the fee.

This is how I received about $1.64 million in Korean money in almost 5 minutes at the exchange rate of 826.011 won at the time.


[One last thing. Enter recipient information].
