It limits daily transfers to \u00a34,999, but with agent locations in over 165 countries, it\u2019s one of the largest real-time payment networks in the industry. Despite its large reach and fast transfer speeds, Ria is unlikely to be your cheapest option, especially when stacked against smaller money transfer providers.<\/p><h3>How much are Ria\u2019s transfer fees?<\/h3><p>Ria\u2019s fees vary between online and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/international-money-transfers\/cash-pickup\">cash pickup<\/a> agent locations. But for online transfers from the UK, fees vary depending on where you\u2019re sending from and how much you\u2019re sending.<\/p><h4>Sending \u20ac500 from the UK to Europe<\/h4><p>As of 26 June 2022, it will cost you \u00a38 to send \u20ac500 to Europe, regardless of whether you transfer for cash pickup or for transfer directly to the recipient\u2019s bank account. When we checked, Ria\u2019s margin markup for GBP to EUR was 1.28%.<\/p><h4>Sending 1000 AUD from the UK to Australia<\/h4><p>As of 26 June 2022, it will cost you \u00a314 to send 1000 AUD to Australia, regardless of whether you transfer for cash pickup or for transfer directly to the recipient\u2019s bank account. When we checked, Ria\u2019s margin markup for GBP to AUD was 1.79%.<\/p><p>Once you have created an account with Ria, you will be able to see exactly what fees your transfer will incur when you input your transfer details on its <b>Send money<\/b> page. You can then compare these against those of other money transfer providers.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"scroll\" href=\"#compare\"><button class=\"btn btn-success\">Compare money transfer services now<\/button><\/a><\/p><h3>How much are Ria\u2019s exchange rates?<\/h3><p>Unlike many competitor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/international-money-transfers\">money transfer services in the UK<\/a>, Ria offers the same exchange rate no matter how much you send. However, it does still add a margin to the mid-market rate, and these will vary depending on which country you are sending to. From our research, the markup was anywhere from 0.25% to 4% on top of the mid-market rate.<\/p><p>It\u2019s best to compare the displayed rate on Ria money transfers with the current interbank rate to calculate the size of the margin charged. You can then use this as a benchmark for comparing the rates of other money transfer providers.<\/p><h4>What your Ria Money Transfer could look like<\/h4><p>Use the table below to find out more details about what making a money transfer with Ria Money Transfer looks like.

of three ways:<\/p><ul><li>Bank deposit<\/li><li>Cash pickup at an agent location<\/li><li>Home delivery (not available in all locations)<\/li><li>Mobile wallets (selected corridors)<\/li><\/ul><p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/ria-locations\">picking up a Ria cash transfer<\/a>, your recipient will need to bring their government-issued photo ID and the transfer\u2019s unique PIN (personal identification number).<\/p><h3>What are Ria\u2019s payment options?<\/h3><p>There are several payment options available when funding your online money transfer with Ria in the UK. These include:<\/p><ul><li>Bank account<\/li><li>Credit card<\/li><li>Debit card<\/li><li>Cash (when initiating a transfer at an agent location)<\/li><\/ul><h3>How long does an international transfer with Ria take?<\/h3><p>Transfers typically take 1 day. However turnaround depends on how quickly you need your money delivered and how much you want to pay.<\/p><p><strong>Fastest option \u2014 within seconds<\/strong><br>If you pay for your transfer with a credit or debit card, your money should arrive in real-time. However, you\u2019ll typically find your credit card provider charges you an additional cash advance fee, further increasing the cost of your total transfer.<br><strong>Cheapest option \u2014 up to 4 business days<\/strong><br>Using a bank account to pay for your transfer is typically the cheapest way to send money, but it\u2019s almost always the slowest. For your first transfer through Ria, you may have to verify your account, which can take four or more business days. After verification, your delivery can take an additional four business days.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"scroll\" href=\"#compare\"><button class=\"btn btn-success\">Compare money transfer services now<\/button><\/a><\/p><h3>Is Ria safe to use?<\/h3><p>Ria Money Transfer has been in operation since 1987 and is a global company that serves millions of customers.
