What OrbitRemit does
Customers can use OrbitRemit to move money internationally from Australia or New Zealand. The quote tool displays the current exchange rate, applicable fee and projected recipient amount before the transfer is committed.
Funding is available through a bank account or debit card. Australian customers may choose PayID, while New Zealand customers may use POLi. Depending on the destination, delivery can include a bank account, mobile wallet or cash pickup.
Fees and plans
OrbitRemit uses a pay-as-you-go model. Each transfer is billed separately, with the charge determined by the currencies and amount; the precise figure appears before confirmation. A transfer of 10,000 units or more is not charged a transfer fee.
Its rate calculation uses a markup. Destination, local banking and regulatory limits can affect a transfer, and the provider does not publish one flat fee for every route.
A debit card held in Apple Pay or Google Pay can be used to fund a transfer when the relevant app or browser supports it.
Where it runs
OrbitRemit offers apps for Android and iPhone, plus a web service. It provides transfer tracking.
On supported apps and browsers, customers can use a debit card saved in Apple Pay or Google Pay. Receiving choices are described by destination.
Protection, as OrbitRemit publishes it
Before making a transfer, each customer has to complete identity verification. OrbitRemit says this meets legal obligations and helps protect accounts and prevent financial crime.
OrbitRemit reports using SSL and SHA-256 encryption, KYC checks, fraud monitoring and secure document storage. Its help pages direct customers to [email protected] for support.
Strengths
Before confirmation, the quote view shows the rate, charge and amount expected by the recipient. Transfers can also be tracked.
Funding methods cover bank transfer and debit card, with PayID for Australian senders and POLi for New Zealand senders. Certain destinations provide bank-account, mobile-wallet or cash-pickup delivery.
Catches and checks
Fees, delivery estimates, limits and identity requirements differ by destination currency and country. Local banking or regulatory limits can also apply.
Identity verification must be completed by every customer before a transfer. Business-account access and verification requirements vary with the country and business structure. OrbitRemit says transfers from New Zealand cannot be provided to charities or NGOs.
Check the route, payment method, receiving method and required documents before confirming.
Who may want another service
OrbitRemit may not fit people sending from outside Australia or New Zealand, or organizations in New Zealand that are charities or NGOs. It may also be unsuitable when a destination is unsupported.
Verdict
For senders in Australia and New Zealand, OrbitRemit provides an international transfer quote with the fee and projected recipient amount shown before commitment. Android, iPhone and web access, tracking and several ways to pay address common sending needs.
People outside its sending countries, routes subject to restrictive destination rules, and New Zealand charities or NGOs may find the service unsuitable. Route-specific pricing and delivery conditions, together with verification requirements, determine whether it works for a particular transfer.

- Anyone wanting to see route pricing and the recipient amount in advance
