Good rates! Couldn't find the DCA feature for non-lighting wallets though.

Fast, simple, easy, trustwortht! A kiwi service I can't do without!

As a newbie to the world of crypto and bitcoin, Lightening Pay has been the easiest thing about it.
The service is fast and efficient. It has great help articles and excellent support and I really feel it is a service I can trust.
During my research Lightening Pay came highly recommended and I am happy to join those ranks.
The fees are low, verification quick and the bank connection simple to set up and use.
It is also very important to me to support small business in Aōtearoa/New Zealand and it makes me proud we have such a quality and excellent local service.

Reliable

I've been both buying / selling through Lightning Pay. Selling is a bit confusing as it is off-chain only, but buying is on-chain or off-chain. But after setting up Zeus wallet I had no issues selling.

Will continue to use!

Best NZ Bitcoin broker

I’ve been using Lightning Pay for 18 months now and it’s hands down the best way to buy Bitcoin in New Zealand. I’ve got a few auto-buys set up, and they work flawlessly. Super easy to use, simple, fast, and reliable every time.

The team behind it clearly knows what they’re doing, offers great support, and consistently improves its product. If you’re in NZ and want a hassle-free way to stack sats, this is it.

Grateful customer

Grateful customer, who have been using the service close to a start of Lightning operation. I have a curiosity to try pretty much all on-ramp off-ramp BTC/crypto in NZ, this is the cheapest one (lowest fees).
For every day stackers, new or seasoned BTC HODLers, for anyone who want to promote BTC for daily use, people who want the world to operate on Bitcoin standard - there is no better place to be.

Knowledge about lightning payments and wallet are required, but easily can be obtained - I never used lightning prior Lightning Pay. 💰

Great Bitcoin only NZ company

Great bitcoin only NZ company, especially great in providing highly detailed responses to all my queries, highly recommended for both saving bitcoin in lightning as well as cold storage. The fees are slightly better than its NZ competitor (even with the best discount).

Lastly, it's a bitcoin only, so no other drifter pump and dump garbage coins.

Lightning Fast Sats!

I’ve been using Lightning Pay for the past 8 months. Incredibly easy and lightning fast!
The best part is receiving the Sats in my wallet before getting a green tick on the website.

The team behind Lightning Pay are amazing people who contribute a lot to the Bitcoin community. I look forward to meeting them in the future!

Best service in NZ

My favourite service in NZ that I have experienced and also the cheapest, offering payments on-chain and lightning. Love their smash buy feature that sends to your lightning wallet immediately, great for "buying the dip" :P

Help with a failed transaction

Help with a failed transaction. It was actually the way my wallet worked, not a failure on their end. They explained the dynamic clearly to me so I knew exactly what I had to do. Great response time too. Super helpful
