We encourage you to check with your card issuer (bank), as they may see these payments as cash advances, which may incur a fee and interest charges from the date of payment.

If you require further clarification of the impacts of paying with a credit card, please contact your financial institution directly.
If you have a payment due with us we can take it from an alternate card stored on your account. You will need to log into your account and set your other card as the primary payment option.

Remember, we only accept a Mastercard or Visa card issued by a New Zealand financial institution.
