Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Overall OK. But recently, I have been noticing a delay in the transfer of money to the destination account. Which makes me go to other parties like XOOM, where the money gets transferred immediately.

It was good and very flexible. I got the opportunity to change the receiver's name which I placed by accident. My only problem with Ria is they don't give you a promo code discount like MoneyGram! I... See more

The ease of using the app to send money overseas is really remarkable. I feel the service would get better rating with lower transfer fee though.

Easy interface. But it would've ben great 5/5 if it allowed us to use a bank account for payment rather than restricting us to credit/debit card.

Wire Transfer (Trust Source)

Trust Source is a trusted provider for wire transfers. If they offer better exchange rates & promo codes, it would provide greater value and be more useful for users.

RIA is the Best of All of Them!

RIA is, by far, the very best cash transfer service in the world (at least, of all the ones I've used which have been many). Their platform is extremely user friendly, the process is super fast and intuitive, and the money is on its way in literally less than a minute. Then they provide emailed updates all the way up until the funds are picked up by the recipient. You really can't ask for more than that!

And btw, this review is solely provided because after using RIA for at least 2 or 3 years, I finally decided the least I could do was spend a couple minutes to let people know how awesome their service is. No incentives, no request, just me and my honest experience with them over the years.

I tried to do this transfer 3 times before and only on my 4th intent was I successful. It turns out that I had to erase both my payment method and my recipient information to put it back in again (same information). I have no idea why the system had me do this and it was a big waste of time. Specially because I was not told what the problem was. I had to figure it out.

Reply from Ria Money Transfer

It seems you faced quite a challenge with the transfer process. Thank you for sharing your experience, as it helps us understand where improvements are needed. The need to erase and re-enter your payment and recipient details can certainly be confusing, especially without clear communication about the issue. Your feedback is valuable, and we encourage you to reach out to our support team via help.riamoneytransfer.com for any further assistance. We’re hopeful for a smoother experience for you in the future!

Service and high fee using Debit Card

The long time to the recipient to receive the money when you pay using the bank account only because is more affordable the service fee but you guys take the money from the account an a day but you release the money after 4 days. But you want to charge additional extra $4 to the debit card of the same bank account. That is very outrageous to charge almost doble to use that.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the service fees and the transfer time associated with using a debit card versus a bank account. It’s important for us to hear about your experience, especially when it comes to the costs involved. We understand how this can be concerning. Your insights are valuable, and they help us look at our processes more closely. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!
