Prepare Your Money

Next, you need to decide how you’re going to pay. With Money Transfer, you can either pay with your debit card, or via your bank account. Simply choose which form of payment you wish to use, and make sure you have the funds available to transfer.

Decide How Much You Want to Spend

Once you’ve decided on how you’re going to pay, you then need to determine how much you’re going to transfer across. You’ll be sending it in Pounds Sterling (GDP), so make sure you know roughly the amount that you would like your recipient to receive in their currency. Our price calculator can make this easy for you.

Getting Your Money Delivered at the Other End

One of the quickest and easiest ways to transfer funds is straight into your recipient’s bank account, so that it’s ready for them to use within 48 hours at the latest.

You’ll need to enter your recipient’s information, so make sure you have their full name as displayed on their government issued ID, as well as their email address or phone number. If the money is getting transferred straight into their bank, you will also need full details of the account where the money is going to be deposited.

It’s also possible to get your money delivered to one of Ria’s agent locations, which are located in 167 countries all over the world.

Throughout the money transfer service, we’ll keep you up to date with any status changes to your order via email. This will include a notification when your recipient receives their funds, and you can also track it in more detail via our track a transfer service. 

When picking up their money, the receiver will need the PIN number provided to you in addition to a valid ID, which will need to match the name on the money transfer.

Make Sure You Register
