OrbitRemit lets you send money to someone in Nepal who can collect it as cash from a local bank branch — no Nepali bank account needed.
What you'll need before you start
Collect the following details from your recipient before creating the transfer:
- Full name (as shown on their ID)
- Residential address
- Email address
- Contact number (Nepali number — this is how NIC Asia Bank will notify them when cash is ready)
Step 1: Log in and start a transfer
- Log in to your OrbitRemit account at orbitremit.com. If this is your first transfer, see: A guide to creating your first transfer.
- Select Nepal as the destination country and enter the amount you want to send.
Step 2: Create a cash pickup recipient
- If you have sent money to this person's bank account before, you still need to create a new recipient for cash pickup — the two recipient types are separate.
- When adding your recipient, select "A person who will collect funds" as the recipient type, then enter their details.
Step 3: Pay for your transfer
- Complete your transfer and proceed to payment. Pay as soon as possible to avoid delays — OrbitRemit will not release the transfer for collection until payment is received.
For a full guide to payment methods, see: What payment options do I have to pay for transfers?
Step 4: Your recipient collects the cash
- Once OrbitRemit receives your payment, the transfer is released for collection. NIC Asia Bank will contact your recipient directly using the contact number you provided.
Where to collect: Any branch of NIC Asia Bank in Nepal.
Cash pickup limit
| Collection point | Maximum per transfer |
|---|---|
| NIC Asia Bank branches | NPR 100,000 |
If you need to send more than NPR 100,000, consider using a bank transfer to your recipient's account instead.
Important — what your recipient needs to bring
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Transfer reference number | For example, ORB1234567. Provided to you after the transfer is created. Your recipient must present this to collect. |
| Photo ID — one form required | Any valid government-issued ID document |
Make sure the contact number you enter for your recipient is correct. NIC Asia Bank will use this number to notify them when the cash is ready for collection.
