Ria Money Transfer
What it is
Ria Money Transfer lets customers send money internationally online, in its Android or iOS app, or at a Ria location. Ria says its service reaches more than 200 countries and territories. Recipients can collect cash, receive a bank deposit, or access funds through a digital wallet. Customers can also arrange bill payments and mobile phone top-ups for people abroad.
For U.S. online transfers, payment options include debit and credit cards, bank payment, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Fees and exchange rates vary with the transfer details and are shown before confirmation; the exchange rate includes a markup. The U.S. site advertises a $0 transfer fee on a first transfer with code HELLORIA, subject to terms and conditions. The app provides real-time status updates, and transfers can also be followed with a PIN or order number. Ria describes identity checks, multi-factor authentication, encryption, EV SSL certification, and 24/7 monitoring among its security measures. For U.S. online transfers, limits include USD $14,999.99 every 30 days for non-cash payment methods and USD $495.00 per cash-funded transfer.
