The global money-transfer business is a world away from selling property, but three Wellington real estate agents are making a go of it.
Their company, OrbitRemit, lets members in New Zealand, Australia and Britain transfer money to overseas bank accounts online for a flat fee – rather than a percentage of the transaction.
The business is an offshoot of Tommy’s Real Estate, and counts Tommy’s founders Tommy Heptinstall and David Platt among its directors.
OrbitRemit director Robbie Sampson – a former Tommy’s real estate agent – says members can send money to New Zealand, Australia, Britain, the Philippines, Vietnam and, as of last month, to China.

OrbitRemit were happy to be involved as the major sponsor of the third annual North vs South Island rugby match held at Richmond Rugby club. The event was extremely lucky and managed to luck out with one of the most beautiful days of the year.
There was a great turnout to watch the North triumph over the incumbent South for the first time in the brief three year history.
All takings from the day were donated to charity and OrbitRemit were the principal sponsor, providing the team jerseys. Read the rest of this entry »

Unlike swine flu or a European suntan, a student loan is something that won’t go away after a week or so. We know that for many of you out there the thought of commencing repayments on your loan seems like a mountain too high to climb. The harsh reality is that the longer you leave it to start making payments the higher that mountain gets.
It is hard to believe, but the highest rate of interest that can accrue against your loan, if your obligatory payments are not met, is 19.65% per annum, that’s even worse than the rates offered on most credit cards. In consideration of this it really is worth biting the bullet and starting to chip away at that loan.
