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:

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.
