ASB bank — 70% of payments outside the aisles of N.Z. do not go through, no purchase of cryptocurrency from any of the tried resources goes through.
ANZ and BNZ (on the recording) — after being asked why I want to open an account, I honestly tell you that ASB is for international payments and cryptocurrencies, respectively, NFT etc. nothing works. The employee hears all these words from me for the first time, hesitantly tries to repeat them after me, then she writes them down on a piece of paper and runs away to her boss, then she comes (in ANZ together with the manager) and explains to me that she cannot open an account for me because I mentioned cryptocurrency.
Westpac bank — according to schedule it closes at 16:00, but in reality, when I arrive at 15:45 it is already closed, that is, the bank works whenever it wants.
HSBC is the only foreign bank in the country, judging by the website, that worked with people, told me that they are leaving NZ, so they are no longer opening accounts.
