Very poor customer service and will void transactions if rates drop In their favour with no notice

published

Be careful with this company. They cancel transactions if the rates drop after you accept a transaction. They will then ask l you to create a new transfer for less money. This was very annoying for me because I needed an exact amount of money transferred and a then had to create a second transfer for only a few dollars. They obviously look for any excuse to cancel transactions that don’t work in their favour. Customer service is very unhelpful and arrogant. They are obviously just a foreign company who simply doesn’t care. Other reviewers have said rates are good, maybe but still need to be very careful with a company that has no respect for the rights of both parties after a binding contract has been entered into.

I initially went elsewhere after reading reviews here

published

After seeing bad reviews on customer service I initially went elsewhere... After seeing how much I was losing based on the exchange rate the others were giving I decided to give OrbitRemit a go..

I've done multiple transactions with the top rated Remit and OrbitRemit...



Orbit remit had faster and easier customer service, better exchange rate and the transactions went through faster (NZ to AU). Also the transactions only seem to be capped by what you set your bank limits to unlike others that have transaction maximums.

Worked great... until it didn't.

Used them to set up regular payments to my overseas student loan. The automatic transfers worked fine for 3 weeks and then all went downhill from there. Contacted their support twice, did not get resolved. Cancelled their service.

I have been using them for about 20 years I can't find anyone better.
I have used them way back when they started in NZ the service was more personalized then but they still have the best rate though not the fastest.
I have sent money to Philippines, Australia and US.

Easy, quick, efficient

published

Easy to set up
Great instructions and feedback
Inexpensive

I set up an account after years of using bank transfers that were associated with large fees and poor exchange rates.

The OrbitRemit system works efficiently with fantastic communication and fast response and action times.

In my mind OrbitRemit in to currency transfer as to what Uber is to transport and AirBNB is to accomodation ..... revolutionary.

Do not try sending money through orbit remit

published

I successfully transferred money 2x except with the 3rd. They took my money straight away then later on informed me that my bank details doesnt match with my account, on the third transfer. I called them and sorted everything out when I did my 2nd transfer so I don't understand why they did not put it on my record - meaning I have to call them and explain, send my identifications every time I send money? Why take my money then tell me that my bank account doesn't match? I called them many many times but no luck at all!! I sent an email but no reply to this date. They informed me that my money has been returned to my bank on the 20th Dec. It's already January 2022 but I haven't received my money back!!!

Been using Orbit for a couple of years now to send money on a regular basis to the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. On each and every occasion the transactions have gone smoothly and with no issues. Great world class product and backup service.

Great value

published

Transferred proceeds of a house sale. Huge savings. Lots of documentation, which I know is a legal requirement (I was more annoyed with the lawyers, as I had used them before, and they already had so many documents).

Good service

published

First time send money to Philippine bank account received less than twenty four hours. I will use Orbitremit again to send money overseas..

Take Your Money & Then Take Weeks To Return It

published

OrbitRemit immediately took our money when we attempted our first transfer.
Then came a continual barrage of requests for more and more documentation about our business and me personally.
Eventually we gave up and asked for our money back.
Then came a continual barrage of requests for more and more documentation about our business and me personally.
Yes, they'll take your money with very limited information BUT once they have it you can't get your money transferred or even get your money back without jumping through hoops.
It took weeks for us to get our money back.

Try OrbitRemit
For a $4 fee you can securely transfer funds at a good exchange rate.
Funds are transferred from your internet bank account to OrbitbRemit.
They then transfer it to your overseas account.
Simple and works perfectly.

It is probably your Australian Bank? When I transfer money online from Westpac to another Westpac account, or St George to another St George account, it disappears for a few days. I assume a number of other banks are the same. From one bank to another in NZ is (usually) there by the time you log in.
