RIA Financial Services, Buena Park, California, a subsidiary of Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: EEFT), today announced the upcoming launch of Riaworldwide.com, an electronic money remittance website to allow overseas Filipino communities to send money to their family and friends to the Philippines or anywhere else in the world.
The new web-based service will be made available to customers in December and is designed to cater to the needs of busy, Internet-savvy professionals who prefer the convenience of sending money quickly and safely from the comfort of their own home.
Timothy Fanning, Chief Operating Officer of RIA Financial Services, said: “Riaworldwide.com will allow us to capture a new demographic by broadening our consumer base and provide our customers with online access to our reliable, secure and convenient money transfer services. Unlike other online remittance services, Riaworldwide.com charges competitive foreign exchange rates and low customer fees, which are based on the amount of the money transfer transaction and the delivery method that customers want their beneficiaries to receive the funds.”
Added Fanning: “We also pride ourselves for having the largest global send and payout network which covers 110,000 locations serving 130 countries, and strategic partnerships with local financial institutions and service partners which meet the needs of our customers.”
Through Riaworldwide.com, RIA simplifies the remittance process for both senders and beneficiaries.
RIA offers a robust range of collection options for beneficiaries. Beneficiaries in the Philippines can collect their funds via their bank account, at any RIA agent location or partner bank or even have the funds delivered straight to their doorstep. RIA offers a unique home delivery service to over 600 towns and cities across the Philippines. Alternatively, beneficiaries in the country can pick up their funds at any of the 3,199 branch locations of RIA’s service partners.
To send funds, customers simply have to go online to http://www.riaworldwide.com and create an account by completing the online form on the website. Senders can send money online via their bank account, debit card or their Visa or MasterCard credit card. Safety is ensured on the site through partnership with reputable vendors - Experian for identity verification and CyberSource for credit card processing - as well as industry-leading security software that is integrated into the website.
RIA has company-owned stores and authorized agents in 35 countries from where remittances can be sent to the Philippines. The company plans to develop their network and increase this number so as to be able to better serve the other Filipino communities.
