Easy and quick to use
Easy and quick to use. I’ve withdrawn bitcoin to cash and also sent cash to lightening Sats. Worked flawlessly. Totally recommend for Kiwi’s wanting to move cash into and out of Crypto.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to write a review. We happy you've found value so far in the product. Re: DCA, we keep that to a Lightning only service for a reason, that is that we expect DCA purchases to be relatively small. The Lightning network is ideal for managing that, and ensuring you don't end up with UTXOs on the main bitcoin network that are too small to be useful for you in the future. You can learn more about our strategy on this here:

Excellent service
Excellent service, setup was pretty painless despite the usual KYC headaches. Awesome functionality. Nice being bitcoin-only, a bit more professional than the whole 'crypto' scene which is important to us as a business

Lightning Pay is the best way to buy Bitcoin
Lightning Pay is easily the best way to buy Bitcoin in NZ. I started using it 6 months ago and haven't used any other exchange since. Highly recommend!

Hey Matthew, thanks for the review! Glad you're enjoying it so far. Let us know what else we can do to make Bitcoin easier for you.
I joined Lightningpay NZ some time ago and am now finding it very good and easy to use.
I joined Lightningpay NZ some time ago but until recently did not use the service- the account just sat unused. Anyway their customer service have been in touch to see why I didnt use and they helped me sort out how to use the service- the problem before was i did not have a Lightning Network wallet that was reliable and this is an essential prerequisite to using Lightningpay as its based on LN payments- anyway over recent months I found and have been using a LN wallet called coinos wallet and its great so I was now able to access and use Ligntningpay and so far I can highly recommend Lightningpay.nz for buying and selling Bitcoin in New Zealand. I believe their service is limited to people and businesses living/operating in New Zealand and from my experience so far they are the best Bitcoin trading platform in New Zealand with low fees and fast easy transactions and with excellent support staff.

Thank you very much for the kind words. It's worth noting that we do offer on-chain bitcoin for purchases only in addition to Lightning for everything else.
We're glad you're having a good experience so far!
