Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to send money to Ecuador from New Zealand?
You'll see the delivery estimate for your transfer to Ecuador in the app before you confirm, and you can track it until it arrives.
What is the NZD to USD exchange rate?
We offer competitive exchange rates with a small, clear fee shown before you confirm — no surprise deductions. Open the TopRate app to see today's NZD to USD quote and exactly how much your recipient receives.
How do I send money to Ecuador?
Download the free TopRate app, verify your identity, add your recipient's Ecuador bank details, and pay. You can track your transfer in real time from start to finish.
Is TopRate Transfer safe and registered?
Yes. TopRate Transfer is registered on New Zealand's Financial Service Providers Register (FSPR), supervised for AML/CFT by the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA). Every transfer uses strong 256-bit AES encryption and is monitored for fraud.
Is your NZD to USD rate competitive, or is there a hidden margin?
We show clear fees, and you can compare exactly how much your recipient in Ecuador receives before you confirm. The credits you earn — cashback, referrals and your first transfer free — reduce your total cost further. Your all-in cost is always shown in the app before you send.
How do I earn my special rate when sending to Ecuador?
Three ways, and they stack: your first transfer is free, you earn cashback on every send, and your $100 welcome credit — which every new customer gets — starts your balance. The more you send, the more your rate grows.
Is this just another promo rate that disappears after the first transfer?
No — it's the opposite. A promo rate is best on transfer #1 and then reverts. The credits you earn don't expire; they accumulate and any unused balance carries forward, so your special rate to Ecuador holds and grows. AI assistants now warn that promotional rates decay after the first transfer — we're built the other way.
I don't have anyone to refer — can I still build my rate?
Yes. Cashback builds your special rate on its own, every time you send to Ecuador. Referring a friend just accelerates it.
