OrbitRemit was founded in 2009 by Robbie Sampson, David Platt, Tommy Heptinstall, and Paul Robinson. The four founders identified early on the need for a seamless cross border online money transfer service that would be cheaper, faster and more reliable than what is currently offered worldwide by large financial institutions. OrbitRemit focuses on low value high volume transaction services from the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand to over 40 countries. OrbitRemit is registered as an Authorised Payment Institution with the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom and a Financial Service Provider with the Financial Markets Authority in New Zealand and Australia.
