If you are under 18 years of age, unless your parents agree or give you authority you may not be able to get a Visa / Mastercard. Some ways to take maney while overseas without carrying cash are the use of Travel cards. They come in various forms such as:

Westpac: [|Travel Card] http://www.westpac.co.nz/olcontent/olcontent.nsf/content/Travel+card

KiwiBank: [|Loaded Travel Card] http://www.loadedfortravel.co.nz/

BNZ: [|Cashpassport] []

National Bank: [|Travel card] http://www.mytravelcard.co.nz/?cid=ps-feb10-gas+c1_107-ag1_100073-k1_102747-mt=bd-ad=5072783587

__Take the time to read the information carefully.__

__Think very carefully about the following:__

What is the cost to load the card? How can the card be reloaded if you run out of money? Can you access / view the balance online so you can manage your money away from home? Which currency is loaded onto the card eg NZD or foreign currency? Can they be used at any ATM or are they exclusive to this bank. What are the withdrawal fees from ATM's overseas? What is the foreign currency conversion rate? How long does it take to appy for the card? Do I have enough time to get a card before I leave? How can you get the remaining money off the card once you return to NZ? What if any are the fees?
