Cash Out Service

How it works: We will certainly recommend that Festival Goers bring enough cash with them. However, to ensure they don't run out of cash to support Vendors, Healers and Market Stall Holders NEW EARTH NZ asks for support for some cash supplies top up from vendors sales to be dropped off to Team at HQ (where there is wifi connection). The dropped off cash amount will be receipted and directly credited to your nominated bank account. This cash can then be re-circulated to Festival Goers who come to 'withdraw' cash from HQ and use it to make more purchases.

this will be a time limited service twice a day between 11am - 12noon and 5pm - 6pm during the Festival time.

 

This way Vendors can have cash proceeds directly credited to their bank account and Festival Goers have access to cash to make further purchases.
