Time to get a bank account landing pad for my fat postdoc paycheck. Cue National Band NZed (think "z"). We're getting things setup and homeslice asks if we want an "eftpos" card (That's right. A what? F-possy? F-p...? What?) or a Visa debit card. Some inquiring determines that an "eftpos" allows direct debits at local shops in New Zealand. A Visa debit is what you think it is and work like you think it should. Cue me..."why would anyone get just an EFTPOS card?"
Reply: "Visa debit is new to New Zealand as of July."
....
What? I thought I moved to New Zealand, not 2001.
