Introducing the KOHA Card
KOHA means: Gift, present, offering, donation, contribution.
The KOHA Card is brought to you by Hospitality New Zealand in partnership with GiftStation, New Zealand’s #1 gift card provider, powered by Centrapay.
The Hospitality KOHA card takes the guesswork out of choosing a gift, letting the recipient choose what he or she wants from a favourite business or venue. As a venue, accepting the KOHA Card allows you to access new customers and boost pre- and post-holiday sales through another payment option. It also secures your position on the upcoming KOHA Card website, where customers will be directed to use their KOHA Cards to support local businesses nationally. This will replace the Eat Drink Play Stay gift card brand.
The Hospitality KOHA gift card can be used to create memorable moments and experiences, such as staycations, eating out, events, and drinking with friends and whanau.
The KOHA Card is purchased on GiftStation’s website and is delivered via text to any New Zealand mobile number. This is securely stored in a Centrapay digital wallet. KOHA Cards can be spent on a range of products and experiences at supported stores through most EFTPOS terminals.
