New Zealand Inland Revenue Department
In 2013, overseas-based borrowers owed 79% of the overdue amount which was recorded at $515 million. The Inland Revenue Department (New Zealand) became aware that it was important for borrowers that are overseas to keep up with their repayments, and as such went on to recommend OrbitRemit to easily make IRD repayments from overseas as a free service for customers needing to make child support, student loan and other IRD repayments and who are living in the United Kingdom or Australia.

New Zealand Ministry of Justice
OrbitRemit has an agreement with the New Zealand Ministry of Justice, whereby issued New Zealand court fines can be paid for from overseas countries such as Australia and the UK without any overseas money transfer expense that may be incurred when paying New Zealand court fines from an overseas location.

New Zealand Ministry of Social Development
OrbitRemit allows consumers to make free online payments to the Ministry of Social Development (New Zealand) from overseas, with recurring payments being an option offered by OrbitRemit when making repayments to the Ministry of Social Development in New Zealand.

Awards
OrbitRemit was noted as an emerging tech start-up in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 awards of 2013, where it place 81st with 397% growth.
