Freelancers, business owners, and remote workers in New Zealand often receive payments from around the world. With the country’s growing global connections, managing foreign payments can sometimes be a challenge. That’s where USD Coin (USDC) comes in—a stable digital currency tied to the U.S. dollar. It’s an easy and reliable way to get paid from overseas, keep your earnings safe, and convert them to New Zealand dollars whenever you need them.
This guide explains how freelancers, business owners, and remote workers in New Zealand can use Grey to receive foreign payments, and convert them to USDC.
