We are inviting disabled people and their whānau and support persons to have their say on digital cash in New Zealand. Digital cash would be a new type of money in addition to banknotes and coins, and the electronic money in your bank account, but it will not replace physical banknotes and coins.
We have put together information in alternate formats to help you tell us what you think. You can view and download information in Easy Read, Large Print, Audio, Braille and New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL).
The main consultation paper explains the design features of digital cash we are considering.
The summary document explains why we are looking into digital cash, and gives you an overview of how you could use digital cash in the future.
There is also an anonymous survey which will help us understand which features of digital cash are important to you.
You have until 30 September 2024 to send us your feedback.
