Sydney, Australia – OrbitRemit, a trusted international money transfer service used by thousands of customers across Australia, continues its expansion across Australia, launching 10 new markets in the first half of 2025. Providing secure, low-cost money transfers (up to 80% cheaper than traditional banking options), OrbitRemit offers Filipino Australians a smarter way to send money overseas to support family and loved ones.

Founded in New Zealand and already popular across Australia, OrbitRemit supports customers with seamless cross-border payments to over 50 countries, including the Philippines, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and Vietnam.

“I’m incredibly proud that OrbitRemit has become a go-to provider for migrants, expats, students, and small businesses in Australia and New Zealand,” said Tommy Heptinstall, Co-Founder of OrbitRemit. “When we launched, we recognised that traditional remittance providers were not adequately servicing migrants’ needs. Simply, there had to be a better way – and that mission has served us true our entire journey.”

Working alongside a range of international partners, transfers are often settled within minutes and customers have a choice of sending to a mobile wallet, direct to bank account, or cash pickup.

“Reliable, fast, and always there when I need to send money home. It’s like a bridge to my family,” said Jane Crame. “It feels good knowing my money is safe and my family gets it quickly. So easy to use. I can send money to the Philippines right from my phone in minutes. I wouldn’t use anyone else.”

OrbitRemit is registered with AUSTRAC as an independent remittance dealer, ensuring the highest standards of compliance, security, and customer protection.
