Looking for a Ria Money Transfer location near you? We have more than 600,000 locations worldwide, including Ria stores and agents inside Walmart, post offices, banks, grocery stores, and convenience chains.
This guide shows you how to find the right Ria location with our app or website, check that it does what you need, and help your recipient pick up cash without a wasted trip.
How to find a Ria Money Transfer location near you
Skip the search engine results and go straight to the source. Our location finder lists Ria stores and partner agents along with their hours and services, so you aren’t relying on a listing that hasn’t been updated in years.
Find a location in the Ria app
Open the Ria app and tap Locations.
Enter a street address, city, state, or postal code. If you’ve allowed location access, the app suggests the nearest locations for you.
Browse the results. Each one shows the company name, full address, and the services it offers (send, receive, bill pay, and more).
Tap a location to call ahead or get turn-by-turn directions.
Find a location on riamoneytransfer.com
Go to the Locations page.
Enter a street address, city, state, or postal code.
Use the filter icon to narrow your results by:
Service type: send money, receive money, or both
Operating hours
Distance, in miles or kilometers
Select a location to see its full details and directions.

Check opening hours and share the location
Every listing shows whether a location is open right now. Open locations show “Open until” in green, and closed ones show “Closed” in red along with the time they reopen. Click a location to see its daily opening hours.
To send the spot to your recipient, click Get directions, open the menu in Google Maps, and choose Share or embed map. Copy the link and text it to them.
Where you’ll find Ria agents
Ria locations come in two kinds, and knowing which one you’re visiting saves time:
Ria stores: dedicated money transfer locations that set their own hours.
Partner agent locations: Ria services offered inside another business. These follow the host store’s hours, not Ria’s, so it pays to confirm before you go.
Partner agents can be inside banks, post offices, supermarkets, grocery stores, check cashers, mailbox centers, drug stores, travel agencies, airports, train and bus stations, and currency exchange offices.
In the U.S., you can also send money in person at Walmart and at retail partners like Check City, PLS, and Cardenas Markets.

What services can you get at a Ria location?
Not every location offers every service, and that’s the most common reason a trip goes wrong. Depending on the country and the agent, you may be able to:
Send an international or domestic money transfer
Pick up a cash transfer
Pay bills
Buy a money order
Cash a check
Top up a mobile phone
Check the service type filter before you head out. A location near you might be great for sending money but not set up for cash pickup, or the other way around.
Sending money in person: What to bring
If you’re sending from a Ria location, bring:
A valid government-issued ID
Your recipient’s name, location, and phone number, plus any other details your destination requires
A way to pay: cash, debit card, credit card, or bank account
After you pay, your printed receipt shows your PIN or order number. Share the PIN with your recipient, and use either number to track the transfer in the app or on our website. Prefer to skip the line? You can start your transfer online and pay in person at a nearby location.
Sending from the U.S. to another country? Money transfer providers generally have to give you certain information, including fees and taxes. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) explains your rights when sending money abroad.
Picking up cash? Here’s what your recipient needs
If the location is for a cash pickup, your recipient only needs two things:
The transfer’s unique PIN, which you get once the transfer goes through
A valid, in-date, government-issued photo ID in their own name
You don’t need to share any other personal details with your recipient for them to collect the funds. Only the person named on the transfer can pick up the cash, and anyone sending or receiving money with Ria must be at least 18 years old.

Before you or your recipient head out
Check the hours first. Partner locations run on their host store’s schedule, which can be shorter than you’d expect, especially on Sundays and holidays.
Make sure the name on the ID matches the transfer exactly. A name mismatch is a common reason pickups get delayed.
Have the PIN ready to show. A screenshot is quicker at the counter than digging through texts or email.
Confirm the service, not just the address. “Near me” isn’t enough: make sure that specific agent offers what you need.
Only send money to people you know. If someone you’ve never met asks you to send money, read up on common money transfer scams first.

FAQs
How do I find the nearest Ria cash pickup location?
Use the Ria app or our location finder. Search by address or postal code, then filter by “receive money” to see only the locations set up for cash pickup.
Are Ria locations open on weekends and holidays?
It depends on the location. Ria stores set their own hours, while partner agents (like those inside grocery stores or banks) follow the host business’s hours. Check the listed hours for that specific location before you visit.
What if there's no Ria location nearby?
Your recipient still has options. Our network also reaches 5 billion bank accounts and 100+ digital wallets, so the money can arrive as a bank deposit or a mobile wallet transfer instead, with no pickup location needed.
Does every Ria location offer the same services?
No. Some agents only handle sending money, others only cash pickup, and some offer the full range, including bill pay and money orders. Filter by service type when you search to avoid a wasted trip.
What does my recipient need to bring to pick up cash?
Just the transfer’s PIN and a valid, in-date, government-issued photo ID in their name.
Can someone else pick up the money for my recipient?
No. For security reasons, only the recipient you named on the transfer can pick up the cash, and their ID has to match the name on the transfer.
How soon can my recipient pick up the cash?
Many cash pickup transfers are ready within minutes of sending. Timing can vary with the sending country, the time of day, and local regulations, and transfers sent outside business hours may be ready the next day.
