Overview

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 New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL), Easy Read, Braille, Large Print and Audio on the Reserve Bank of New Zealand website.
