Details
What is Ria? Ria is the third-largest global money-transfer company, owned by Euronet Worldwide. Strong in Latin America, the Philippines, India, Pakistan, and Eastern Europe. Most cash-pickup transfers use Ria's own settlement; bank deposits often route via SWIFT.
How Ria settles cross-border payments: Internal Ria settlement network for cash. SWIFT for bank-deposit transfers above certain thresholds. Local rails (SEPA, UPI, Pix) in some corridors. This means Ria sometimes uses SWIFT. Bank-deposit transfers to destinations where Ria doesn't have a local correspondent, larger amounts, business transfers.
Tracking a Ria transfer: Order Number / PIN (8-digit) for cash and internal transfers. UETR for SWIFT-routed bank deposits.
Ria pricing — $3-15 per transfer + FX spread of 1.5-4%. Generally cheaper than Western Union for the same corridors.. Typical speed — Cash pickup: minutes. Bank deposit: 1-4 business days.. Coverage — 160+ countries, 600,000+ payout locations..

Frequently asked questions
Does Ria Money Transfer use SWIFT?
For bank-account delivery to many corridors, yes — the cross-border leg settles over SWIFT and the transfer carries a UETR. For cash pickup, Ria uses its own internal settlement and a simple Order Number for tracking.
What is the Ria Order Number?
An 8-digit reference Ria assigns to each transfer for cash pickup and in-app tracking. It is NOT a SWIFT UETR and cannot be looked up on Ohmyfin — use the Ria app or partner agent.
How do I find the UETR for my Ria bank-deposit transfer?
Ask Ria customer support for the SWIFT reference / UETR — they will look it up in their settlement system. Provide them with your Order Number and the date / amount. Once you have the UETR, paste it into Ohmyfin.
Is Ria cheaper than Western Union?
Yes for most major remittance corridors. Ria typically charges 30-50% less than WU on the total cost (fee + FX spread combined), especially for digital app transfers.
Why does my Ria bank-deposit transfer show "Sent" but not received?
Ria marks transfers as "Sent" when they release funds to the SWIFT correspondent. The bank-side processing (sanctions screening, FX, posting) can add 1-4 days. Track the UETR on Ohmyfin for live SWIFT status.
Can I cancel a Ria transfer?
Cash pickup: yes if not yet picked up. Bank deposit: depends on SWIFT progress — check the UETR on Ohmyfin first to see if it's still in flight (cancellable) or already credited (cancellation depends on beneficiary).
Does Ria deliver to mobile wallets?
Yes in many corridors — GCash (Philippines), bKash (Bangladesh), M-Pesa (Kenya), UPI (India) etc. Mobile-wallet deliveries use local rails, not SWIFT, and don't have a UETR.
What's the maximum amount I can send with Ria?
Depends on country and verification level — typically $2,999-$10,000 per online transfer, higher for agent-store transfers. SWIFT-routed large transfers trigger enhanced screening at the receiving correspondent.
Does Ria have a SWIFT/BIC code?
Ria itself is not a SWIFT-network bank. SWIFT settlement is done through Ria's partner correspondent banks — the BIC depends on the corridor. Check the MT103 if you have it.
Is Ohmyfin Ria tracking free?
Yes for SWIFT-routed bank deposits with a UETR — completely free for individuals — no daily limit, no card, no signup required.
