Kickstarter is now available for Australia and New Zealand
In August it was announced that Kickstarter would open its doors to the authors of projects from New Zealand and Australia.
From October 14, residents of these two countries can create their own projects, but they can start them only on Wednesday, November 13. That is, residents of Australia and New Zealand can already do a draft page and work on it, but they will be able to press the cherished “red button” (by the way, it’s green at the CS) only in a month.

Interestingly, for these new two countries, Kickstarter will accept local currency charges: Australian dollars (AUD) and New Zealand dollars (NZD). Thus, five types of banknotes will be in circulation on Kickstarters: Canadian (CAD), Australian, New Zealand, American dollars and pounds sterling. For your information, here are the equivalents of these currencies in rubles:
ÂŁ 1 UK = 51.50p
$ 1 US = 32.25p
$ 1 CAD = 31.11p
$ 1 AUD = 30.73p
$ 1 NZD = 27.02p
It is also worth noting that an account in Amazon Payments is not required to deposit funds to accounts of projects from Australia and New Zealand. To support the project, you will need to select a bid and enter your bank card details.
As for taxes, everything is the same. Starting your project from New Zealand or Australia, you will give 5% to Kickstarter and the following percentages to banking aggregators:
Projects from Australia:
For New Zealand-based projects:
And finally, if you suddenly live or just intend to visit Australia or New Zealand in the near future, then do not miss Kickstarter seminars!
Kickstarter is actively fighting intermediaries, but also actively expanding its borders. Following Canada, we see the connection of island nations, such as the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia.
Who will be next, maybe Germany?
