We like to keep things cheap and simple here at OrbitRemit, so for all transfers under $10,000 we only charge a tiny fee of $4 per transfer. Sending over $10,000? That's free of charge!
-

Restrictions on how much you can transfer are determined by which country you are transferring to. You can view more info on maximum transfer and receive amounts.
These limits are imposed by banks and local regulators and OrbitRemit does not have control over these restrictions.
-
We usually receive bank payments to our Australian account within 12-24 hours.
This is how long your bank takes to send us your money. We have no control over this part of the process, but if you make a payment to OrbitRemit before your banks cut-off time (generally 5 PM EST) we should receive it the following morning.
Payments made to our account over the weekend (or after your bank's cut-off time on a Friday) will take a bit longer to reach our account. As banks are closed over the weekend, your payment will reach our account on Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning at the latest.We suggest sending us your payments using PayID instead of through bank transfer.
PayID payments are typically instant unless it is your first deposit or a large amount, in which case your bank may place a hold on the funds for 24 hours. -
This depends on where you are transferring to. You can view more details on processing times by destination.
