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.

Sometimes Ria send funds immediately

Sometimes Ria send funds immediately. Other times, there is a 4-day delay. This time I was told there would be a 4-day delay. I don't understand the variance.

Quicker Receival Advice.

There must always be room for improvement, so 4 Stars from me. However, I would like to see your EARLIER email advising the receiver has received the transfer, and not the following day, please.

Seriously bad place

Seriously bad place. A friend asked if he could use Ria instead of WU due to being in a German city with no WU branches. That was a serious mistake. Took him 5 minutes to send the money in, but by the time I got the cash out (only a few hundred quid…) I was made to feel like I owed these condescending nut jobs half of it. Can’t remember the last time someone tried to patronise me to quite such a degree. Which country (or continent) do you think this is? Check the map just in case please, if you haven’t recently.
Don’t use them. Find a WU. I feel lucky (bar one day of time wasted).
Also, you know you short changed me in the end, right? I had a different number on the receipt. Not a lot of difference, but I am just curious - was I supposed to haggle for it? Wave my hands, or what? What’s the protocol here?
