OrbitRemit is an online financial service that allows you to pay and receive money online from friends, family, business associates, and more using a secure internet account. OrbitRemit records every last transaction you make on the platform. They make this transaction history available so you can review your payment anytime you want.
If you have the OrbitRemit account you know that you can view all of your transaction histories on demand by clicking the clock icon in the bottom-right corner and opening the Activity tab. If you navigate further you’ll also find out that there is no way to delete this history. When you click on a payment option it simply shows payment details and says if it’s pending or completed.
That being said, it means that deleting your OrbitRemit transaction history is not possible, you can’t completely remove your payment activities (only move it to archives), especially since the government made a financial policy that regulates how monetary transactions are recorded and kept. The Archive button helps you streamline the “My Recent Activity” section and keep your transactions for quick reference. You’ll also find an option to download your history.
If you don’t even want to see your OrbitRemit transactions history in which case I would suggest you delete your whole account and create a new one as there’s no need to make them private because they already are, but before you start the process it’s important that you download your transaction report.
