A Mastercard survey has found New Zealanders are exposing themselves to being ripped off on overseas holidays because of where they hide cash while relaxing.
The survey of more than 700 travellers also found Kiwis come home with $169 million in loose change every year and 71 per cent of them don’t exchange it when they’re back here.
The New Zealand research was done for Mastercard by Pureprofile between May 29 and June 4 with 750 New Zealand respondents who have travelled overseas in the past year.
