What you need to send money
Whether you’re sending money online or in person, there are a few documents you will need to process the money transfer. To minimize exposure, please make sure to bring these with you when visiting our stores.
- A valid government-issued photo ID, like a passport
- Your recipient’s full legal name
You’ll also need to provide additional info depending on how you want your recipient to receive money. It differs by payout option. We have the details in How to Receive Money with Ria Money Transfer.
How to send money on the Ria Money Transfer app
The Ria mobile app is available in the United States, Canada, Spain, Lithuania, and 12 other countries in Europe. It’s a fast, easy way to send money from the comfort of home.
To get started, you’ll need to:
- 1. Download the app for iOS or Android
- Create an account
- Verify your identity
For identity verification, you’ll need to have a physical, government-issued photo ID on hand. You’ll take pictures of the front and back of the ID, take a selfie, and take a short video for proof of liveliness. Then you’ll be ready to send money!
How to send money online
Our website, www.riamoneytransfer.com, is available in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia. Just like the app, you’ll need to register and complete the identity verification before you can send money.
How to send money at a Ria location
Most of our retail and agent locations remain operative, although opening hours may be affected by local regulations and safety protocols. We’re also taking COVID-19 precautions very seriously, and for your safety, we hope you will too if you need to send with us.
