I have been using this service for a few years now. The improvements are stunning. My lastest transfer was paid to recipient account within minutes of completing PayId with my bank.

The transfer was very convenient. Trying to get a hold of someone from the support team is kinda difficult. In terms of time and promised discussions, a few things was not delivered. Unfortunately it took 1 month for my voided transfer to process back the credit that was used. Then due to inconvenience they promised a 5aud credit which they really… Read more

dont have to but again, not delivered.

As of 31/07 received a message and phone call from the representative of Orbit. Provided an apology with explanation as to what happened and out of goodwill, provided an incentive. Appreciate the follow up and being open to constructive feedback.

Would give no stars, Avoid this company as they are likely ID traders/thieces. The document verification and customer service team are more useless than their st^pid AI customer service bot. First had issues verifying my principle place of business as they did not bother to read the electricity bill that had the service address highlighted. So… Read more

send ASIC company statement, all ID, bank statement, biometric verification, in fact more than is required to get a passport or open a company bank account. Then made 2 payments that were in being processed status for days, only to be made void after several days, so I threatened them to return my money which they did eventually.

service - one time I had an issue where I put a wrong number and I did not notice it but they contacted me and corrected it.

 Follow-up  · Orbit still continue to deliver a reliable, fast and affordable service. Recently I made one deposit for 2 split payments and created a confusion in the system resulting to the money not sent quickly their AI respondent has provided helpful information and was able to direct me appropriately - I sent the receipt and instantly Orbitremit was able to act on it quickly and sent the money with no issue. Thank you again

Transfer was done within minutes although I was using it for the first time. Very fast and reliable

 Follow-up  · No hidden charges really. Just 4 dollars transfer fees. The exchange rate is better than Ria finances, although the charge is higher here. However, when you convert, the gap in the transfer fees gets covered, as in you get more money in this app. Additionally, sometimes you get coupons upon transfers, which reduces the whole transfer amount. Till date I received 100 AUD coupon discount on two occasions.

Best money transfer company out there. Sending money to Thailand is free and once set up it only takes about 5 minutes for the money to arrive in my bank account.

Fast processing. I have been transferring money thru Orbit Remit since 2012 in NZ and Australia. Discounts or wavering the $4 processing charge sometimes would greatly help.

Your remittance service is fast and simple. Not always the best rate and usually a few centavos below my other remittance service but they charge $8 and they always take longer.

I have had regular issues with payments being delayed or some other issue at their end, and support not being able to understand the problem- Because a lot seem to struggle with English, even though they mostly communicate through typed support messages. They just sent me an email about how they have improved their processing time, and I should… Read more

write an awesome review about that…….while also causing my payment to be delayed by several days for no reason, and not responding to my support request. If you don’t need to use them, I wouldn’t recommend. They aren’t the worst, but definitely far from ‘good’.

Would give zero Stars if it were possible. Do you have family that rely on your support? Do You need to send money overseas frequently? If you answered yes then DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY I understand the regulatory requirements on such services by OR chooses to request more than this and takes days to reply while your transfer and funds are on… Read more

hold. (making sure they earn pretty interest on YOUR money) unlike reliable services like Wise (Which everyone SHOULD be using) which asks for Proof of Address, ID, Bank statement from account ui fund transfers from which is all thats required under KYC laws, they ask for very personal info and documents that are completely irrelevant to why you need to send money. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY USE WISE, OR IS HANDS DOWN THE WORST MONEY TRANSFER COMPANY AROUND

Used them for probably 6 years with out too much hassle until there was a major delay with a transfer and i contacted customer service who said it would take 24 hours, despite the fact my recipient required the transfer for a medical emergency. My… Read more

account was suspended, money held by orbitremit. [Name Removed] contacted me, he was their compliance officer and worked 9-5 monday to friday for a 24/7 organisation. [Name Removed] demanded i re send all of my previous information, bank accounts, pay slips, proof of ID as well as my recipients information, ID, bank accounts and a detailed summary of how i knew them, information i had all previously submitted. [Name Removed] did bugger all for 4-5 days and then my account was cancelled and money returned..for no logical reason. Found Remitly..remitly are good, fast - verification is required as it should be when you sign up..verification is not required repeatedly or when the service makes an error although remitly have not yet made any errors.

 Follow-up  · Q- Did they explain the suspension? A - no, and the suspension was a week long suspension during which time my funds were held and the recipient was unable to pay her medical bills and then my account was cancelled, possibly because i emailed orbit remits rather lazy compliance officer suggesting he was rather lazy. I should stress, no issue with… Read more

I love Orbit Remit. It’s a great and a very quick way to send money from around the world back to New Zealand. It’s only $4 per transaction and good currency exchange rates.

I've used Orbit Remit for many years now, always been super easy and reliable. They made some sort of update recently so it's been even faster - I've made one transfer so far (by payID) which was processed including funds paid out to the recipient within 8 minutes

This company is really careful making sure all your details are perfect so your transfer is safe. I had a tricky transfer to Bhutan whose bank uses proxy banks which was tricky. OrbitRemit gave me fantastic back up with many messages, checks and calls. You are safe with them!

Excellent money transfer service! The transfer was fast, secure, and very easy to complete. The exchange rates were competitive, and the fees were reasonable.

What used to take 2-3 days to send money overseas was processed and delivered within an hour. Easy to use with multiple ways to transfer the money (google pay/pay ID etc). Have always used Orbit Remit but they have improved exponentially. Would definitely recommend

I’ve been using OrbitRemit for the past 10 years, and this time the experience was noticeably different—in a good way. The money was transferred to the nominated bank account within just 15–20 minutes. Thanks to OrbitRemit for this great service improvement!
