Ria Money Transfer App: New Card Payment Options

January 14, 20212 min read
A woman wearing a sun hat, sunglasses, and a white lace dress is smiling at her smartphone. She is holding a credit card in her other hand. There is a large orange circle in the background.

Great news: you can now use Maestro debit and non-local credit and debit cards on the new Ria Money Transfer app! These new features will make money transfers faster and easier for our customers in Europe.

What does this mean for you?

1. If you have a Maestro debit card, you have one of the fastest ways to send money abroad.

If you live in Europe, you can now take advantage of fast international transfers with your Maestro card through the Ria Money Transfer app. After your first transaction, your debit and credit card-funded transfers will be sent out almost instantly! However, be mindful that the funds may take up to one or two business days to become available depending on the payout method.

2. You can use any European Union-issued debit or credit card.

Now, in true EU spirit, borders don’t matter when you use the Ria Money Transfer app. You can fund your transfers with Visa, MasterCard, and Maestro – regardless of what country the card was issued in.

We’re dedicated to bringing you closer to the people you care about through simple, secure money transfers. And with these Maestro debit and international card payment options, you’ll find that it’s faster, too.
