It is quite miraculous looking at the damage caused by the Christchurch earthquake that nobody has actually been killed. I guess there is something to be said for the way buildings and homes have been engineered in New Zealand, with Earthquakes a very real threat as evidenced at the weekend.
The dismal weather that they are having down in Christchurch is not helping as the massive task of cleaning up the city and dealing with the destruction left behind begins.
All of us here at OrbitRemit send our sympathy to those affected by this act of nature. We also remind everyone that should you wish to send some money home to New Zealand to help out a friend or loved one you can do so first time for free. Estimates of damages are now looking as though they could run over a Billion NZD. Given the magnitutde of the quake every little bit helps and if you do need for any reason to send some funds back to New Zealand please do not hesitate to contact us to see how we can help.
Our best wishes go out to everyone.

Came across an interesting article published in New Zealand last week. It would appear that the government is becoming increasingly keen to try and actively re-coup some of the 11 Billion dollars currently outstanding as student loans. Whether we here at OrbitRemit agree or disagree with them targetting overseas borrowers is beside the point we are simply here to try and make it as easy and economical as possible to make payments to your loans from overseas. All new customers who make a pament towards their student loan through OrbitRemit will be able to do so for free until the end of October.
We realise how hard it is to make these payments and this is our way of trying to alleviate some of the headache and financial pain of doing so. Based on the article below it would appear that the tactic of simply ignoring the student loan is going to be fraught with more and more ramifications upon returning to New Zealand.

If after reading that you think you might want to make a payment towards your loan please visit our site for more information on how to make a free payment through OrbitRemit.

The New Zealand dollar and Australian dollar traded in a fairly tight range over the last week due to a lack of any real significant economic data.
GBP/NZD dollar traded in the range of 2.13670-2.16950 over the last week averaging 2.15753.
GBP/AUD traded in the range of 1.64310-1.66010 with an average of 1.65383 over the same period.
The focus in the short term will be on the AUD/NZD cross rate and offshore developments.
The BoE has just announced, this morning, their decision to keep its Bank Rate unchanged at 0.5%, as widely expected, as well as to maintain its bond buying program at GBP200 Bln. This has given a small boost to both GBP vs both AUD and NZD as I write this.
For those wishing to send money back to NZ/AUS we would recommend doing it now as further uncertainty lurkes around the corner as the UK election looms closer.
Please visit out global site at www.orbitremit.com and select the site where you are to keep up to date with current exchange rates or call one of our local representatives to speak about your money transfer requirements.

Last week Reserve bank governor Allan Bollard left the Reserve bank rate unchanged at 2.5%, unchanged now for the 7th time in a row.
The NZD dollar dipped slightly on this news although it was widely expected that this would be the outcome.
The pound to the New Zealand dollar traded last week at an average of 2.14844 reaching a high of: 2.17490 and a low of: 2.11840
It has been indicated that interest rates may increase by the middle of 2010. The GDP for New Zealand is expected to grow 3, 2% in 2010 and a possible 4, 2% next year.
A Key indicator to watch for Sterling this week will be the BOE minutes which will be published on the 17th.

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.
