Delivery times depend on the method you choose and when you send:
Cash pickup: Funds can be available for collection within minutes.

Several factors can affect speed:
Time of day: Transfers sent on weekends or after banking hours may experience delays.
Payment method: Debit card payments tend to process faster than bank account (ACH) transfers.
Delivery method: Cash pickup is generally faster than bank deposit.
Delivery times are estimates and may vary based on provider processing times, recipient method, and other factors. For the most up-to-date estimate, the Ria app and website display expected delivery times at checkout before you confirm your transfer.
