Send money home to the Pacific

Freedom Pacific moves money from New Zealand and Australia to families across the islands. You see the exchange rate and the fee before you pay, and the amount on screen is the amount they collect.

One verification, then a few taps

Setting up takes a few minutes the first time. Every transfer after that is quick.

  1. 01

    Scan your passport

    Verification happens once, inside the app. Scan your passport to start it off.

  2. 02

    Confirm it's you

    A quick face check finishes the identity step. You never have to post documents or visit a branch.

  3. 03

    Enter the amount and who it's for

    The exchange rate, the fee and the amount your family receives all appear before you commit to anything.

  4. 04

    Pay the way you normally would

    Pay from your bank account, by bank transfer, or with a Visa or Mastercard — whichever suits you.

  5. 05

    Share the receipt

    You get a receipt code straight away. Send it to your family, and they can track the transfer or collect the cash with it.

Built for the people who send

Seasonal workers

RSE and PALM workers send money home through the whole season. One verification at the start, then a transfer whenever payday lands.

Families overseas

Support at home without wondering when it will land or what will be taken off it along the way.

Students

Cover tuition and living costs across borders, in the local currency, with a receipt you can keep.

Small businesses

Pay suppliers and contractors across the Pacific without the paperwork a bank transfer usually drags in.

Why people trust us with it

Licensed and regulated

Freedom Pacific operates under Licence No. AAN 100817830 and works within the financial rules of both New Zealand and Australia.

Nothing hidden in the rate

The fee is stated separately from the exchange rate, so the figure you see is the figure your family collects.

People on the ground

Cash-out partners in Samoa and Vanuatu hand the money over in person, so family without a bank account can still be paid.

Help in the channels you use

Reach the team in the app, on Messenger or on WhatsApp, and get an answer in plain language.

Earn from the people you introduce

If you are the person your community already asks about sending money, become a Freedom Pacific agent. You get your own invite link, commission on every sign-up, and a share of what your referrals send from then on.
