The New Zealand dollar is the commodity currency of the South Pacific: dairy exports, tourism, and carry trades set its tone. It settles internationally by SWIFT and clears on both card processors.
Rails settle it at checkout; pegged tokens settle it on-chain. Both live on the same non-custodial U.CASH checkout.
Kiwi checkouts can offer SWIFT for bank transfers and cards through your own Stripe or Verifone account.

Reach, flow mode, and what each rail asks of the buyer, from the rail registry.
A practical composition for a New Zealand Dollar merchant: the local rail wins domestic transactions on cost and speed, cards cover the buyers who reach for plastic, and cross-border settlement rides conversion or SWIFT depending on the corridor. Offer all of them from one checkout and let each payment find its natural path; the invoice stays in NZD whichever leg carries it.
No NZD-pegged token trades on U.CASH today, so on-chain settlement for New Zealand Dollar runs through conversion: the buyer pays a liquid crypto asset and the checkout converts at payment time, with the NZD amount carried as the invoice's denomination.
