One of Australia’s largest crypto exchanges by total users has branched out to neighboring country New Zealand.
- New Zealand users can now hold an account on the Swyftx exchange with New Zealand dollars and may utilize deposits via local bank transfers, according to a blog post on Monday.
- The exchange has also set up a network of local New Zealand support staff to field customer queries.
- New Zealand has been on Swyftx’s radar for “some time,” the exchange said in a separate blog post. Recent partnerships and regulations have paved the way for Swyftx to support NZD on the platform, it said.
- Many existing exchanges in New Zealand are limited and act as a “pass-through” for user’s funds, Swyftx said in its post. Like most exchanges, Swyftx passes on a fee for withdrawals imposed by its banking partners while local deposits take one to three business days.
- Swyftx is the country’s second-largest exchange, with over 350,000 customers. The move marks the exchange’s first attempt at an expansion outside Australia.
