Ria Products for Individual Customers

As noted above, one of the biggest advantages of using Ria to make money transfers is the sheer size of its network, which boasts 332,000 locations worldwide distributed across more than 140 different countries, including Europe, Australia, Latin America, North America, Africa and Asia. The company also serves areas that are typically harder to reach, such as Nepal, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Haiti.

Money transfers are generally exceptionally fast. Whereas traditional banks will often take several days to process transactions, most payments made via Ria are ready for collection the same day.

While many money transfers companies will not offer a service to people wishing to make smaller transactions, Ria places no lower limit on the sum you wish to send. In fact, it generally will not permit customers to transfer sums above USD $2,999, although it will let them increase that upper limit if they can provide further identification at a local Ria agent location. However, the maximum amount that can be sent within any 30 day period is limited to USD $7,999.

Exchange rates may not be quite as competitive as those available on other dedicated cross-border payments platforms (they’re typically 1.5% to 2.5% below mid-market rates), but they’re better than average and they outperform most of the banks. You can also be confident that your transaction will be simple, convenient, safe and fast. An excellent solution for people who want to send relatively small amounts quickly.

Security for money transfers via Ria is excellent, robustly protecting customer identity, information, money and transactions using the following methods:

• Pinpointing dubious actions such as suspicious login attempts and transactions while using state-of-the-art security and modelling
• Top-drawer identity verification systems to establish that senders and recipients really are who they say they are
• Industrial strength security for all information whether online or off
• A money-back guarantee in the rare event of issues arising with customer transfers
• A highly skilled and knowledgeable team of security experts who monitor and review suspicious transactions
• Advanced fraud protection techniques
• Ria never stores customer debit or credit card information on its servers

The company adheres to all national and international regulations and standards for paying out, receiving and transferring money. All its procedures and policies comply with the laws of the United States and of the jurisdictions it operates within, adhering as well to all European Union and United Nations sanctions.

A highly reliable, highly secure way of making money transfers, Ria has a Better Business Bureau accreditation rating of A+.

About Ria Money Transfers
