Our History

In 1987, we were a small immigrant-made business with one simple mission: to help people like us stay connected to their loved ones around the world. We knew from personal experience that settling in a new country was hard, especially when you have mouths to feed and parents to look after back home.

Remittances, the money migrant workers send back to their countries of origin, are sometimes the only way for us to look after our loved ones. It puts the pressure on succeeding abroad and on making the sacrifice of being apart worth the while. Sending money back to loved ones is how you keep them fed, in school, and insured for healthcare.

We started small, delivering money to our own communities in Latin America. And that’s what made the difference. When friends and community members stepped into our store, they felt at home. The people who prepared their order spoke the same language, and even knew their relatives. We believe everyone has a right to make a better life for themselves. And we believe the best way to help others achieve their full potential is through genuine connection.

That’s what made Ria special, and it hasn’t changed. In 2007, Ria was acquired by Euronet Worldwide Inc., a leading global financial technology solutions and payments provider.

Now, we’re one of the top money transfer companies in the world. But, no matter how far we’ve come, how many stores we’ve opened, and how many markets we’ve entered, we think global, but act local, our offices are filled with people like you, people like us. People who know what it means to call more than one place home.

We are a company made up of migrants at the service of migrants.
