Send money to a Banco Agrícola account in El Salvador with Ria

To send an international transfer to Banco Agrícola from the United States, start a transfer with Ria online, in the app, or in person, and choose Banco Agrícola as your delivery method. For a direct bank deposit, enter your recipient’s Banco Agrícola account number; for cash pickup, they can collect at any Banco Agrícola branch with a valid ID and the transfer PIN. Your recipient receives the money in US dollars.

You don’t need Banco Agrícola’s SWIFT or BIC code to send money with Ria. SWIFT codes are used for international bank wires, but Ria delivers your transfer within El Salvador, so all your recipient needs for a direct deposit is their Banco Agrícola account number. Enter it when you set up the transfer and the funds are credited in US dollars.

Banco Agrícola is a Salvadoran bank, so it doesn’t operate its own branches or a US customer line in the United States. You don’t need one to send money there. With Ria, you can send from anywhere in the US, online or from the app, straight to a recipient’s Banco Agrícola account or for cash pickup at a branch in El Salvador. So whether you’re in Houston, Los Angeles, Maryland, or anywhere else, the money reaches El Salvador without either of you visiting a US location.

How your recipient collects the money depends on the delivery method you choose. For cash pickup, they collect the transfer at a Banco Agrícola branch with a valid ID and the PIN you share. For a bank deposit, the funds go straight into their Banco Agrícola account, and from there they can use their own card to withdraw cash at a Banco Agrícola ATM like any other balance. Ria’s calculator shows which options are available before you confirm.

The fee depends on how much you send, your payment method, and whether your recipient chooses bank deposit or cash pickup. Because El Salvador uses the US dollar, there’s no currency conversion, so the amount you send arrives in dollars. Ria’s calculator shows the exact fee and the final amount your recipient will receive before you confirm. Your first transfer may qualify for a promo rate.
