History

The company opened its first store in 1987 and has since grown to become the third largest money transfer service in the world.[4] Ria currently serves customers in 160 countries through more than 400,000 locations worldwide.[5]

Ria began working with post offices in 2010 and on July 31, 2014, partnered with Postbank, which is owned by the Kenyan Government, allowing their customers to send money through any of the bank’s 99 branches, or receive it directly into their accounts.[6] The company continues to expand its postal partnerships to reach more underbanked and underserved customers in hard to reach places.[7]

In 2014, the company launched Walmart-2-Walmart Powered by Ria, a Walmart money transfer service within the US.[8] The service allows customers to transfer money to and from more than 4,600[9] stores at competitive prices.[10] In March 2015, Walmart-2-Walmart Powered by Ria received the "Best Cash Innovation" Gold Award at the PYMNTS.com Innovator Awards.[11]

In 2016, the company expanded its relationship with Walmart to Latin America and partnered with Walmart Chile to offer money transfer services through selected Líder brand supermarkets.[12]

gollark: > I'm a dedicated member of the esolangs esocommunity - even if I only made three esolangs and they are mostly joke languages and not very good, I am pretty actively on the discord and contribute* to conversations. I would NOT do the problematic stuff you do such as randomly removing roles people liked, randomly muting and/or kicking people, generally punishing people excessively for small things, insulting people (e.g. telling them to kill themselves) for having different food preferences, breaking bots for ages, or deleting 2000 messages [DATA EXPUNGED], a mere orthographic projection of your badness.> Also, I want the nice staff color and want Nobody/Palaiologos (how do you SPELL THAT) to stop doxxing people. Additionally, I have many innovations I'd like to bring to the server, such as a dodecahedron emoji, and can help develop some of them because I am somewhat okay at bot development, if not graphic design.
gollark: Anyway, I do still need suggestions for improving my application.
gollark: Also, anyone can trigger an election at any time for any reason.
gollark: It alternates between both of those every election.
gollark: A democratically elected council except only bots can vote.
