What I like about using OrbitRemit. It's about privacy (GDPR Compliance)

What I like about using OrbitRemit

- If you make your remittance in the morning you can expect it to be in your recipient’s bank account on the same day.
- Aside from speed, exchange rate, usability, it's privacy! It's GDPR compliant according to their support!

Although it is nowhere to be found on their website, I did due diligence and contacted their support to confirm.

According to OrbitRemit support, as a company registered in NZ, Australia and the UK, they comply with the privacy regulations of these countries and as per their terms and conditions, they value the privacy of our customers.

In the UK or EU, when it’s about privacy you talk about (GDPR Compliance)
