Send money to Honduras for only $2.89

Sending money to Honduras is easy, especially with so many options available. Each method has its own security features, convenience, service fees, and timeliness. That’s why it’s essential to consider your options carefully to choose the best option for you and your recipient.

Here are the top ways to send money to Honduras:

•Digital wallet transfer: A mobile wallet, or digital wallet, is a convenient way to store, send, and receive money from wherever you are. You can also use these to pay bills. All you need is a smart device and a secure internet connection. Plus, some digital wallets are compatible with certain online remittance services, making it even easier to handle any money-related transactions. This might be a good option if your recipient doesn’t have an active bank account in Honduras.

•International wire transfer: If you and the recipient have bank accounts, you can set up a wire transfer online or by visiting a local branch. This option typically takes a few business days to complete, but it tends to be secure and comes with fewer fees than a money transfer agent or credit card transfer.

•Overseas money order: As long as you know your recipient’s address, you can send them a money order. This method can take a few days or weeks, depending on where and when you send it. Once your recipient gets the money order, they can cash it in their currency — the Honduran Lempira — sans any currency exchange fees. However, they’ll need to make sure the money order has not expired, or they will not be able to use it.

•Card transfer (debit or credit): If you have a debit or credit card, you can use it to send money. This is one of the fastest options, as it typically only takes a few hours to complete. Check with your card issuer about any international transfer fees beforehand.

•Cash pickup: You can also send money overseas by scheduling a cash pickup at a physical location near your recipient. With Ria, for example, your recipient can get their money in person at one of over 3,800 locations in Honduras.

•Money transfer agent: Another option is to use a third-party service, like a money transfer agent, to send money abroad. Each service has its own reputation, fees, features, and drawbacks, so keep that in mind when choosing one.

If you’re looking for a secure, convenient way to send money to Honduras, you can use an international remittance service instead. Ria operates in over 165 countries, including Honduras.

Ria also lets you transfer money via your bank account via our secure app or website. You’ll need a Ria account, but your recipient will not. Learn more about how it works, or register for an account here.

It can take anywhere from a few minutes to five business days to send money to an overseas location — including Honduras. However, how long it takes depends on several factors, such as:

1.Transaction type

2.Payment method

3.Where you’re sending money from

4.Whether Ria requires additional information for security purposes

5.When you initiate the transfer

Some currencies or transfer methods are only available during local business hours. If you set up a Honduras remittance outside of typical business hours, on a holiday, or on the weekend, you could experience delays.

If you’re looking for the fastest way to send money to Honduras, you may want to use a debit or credit card for your transaction. These methods may incur additional fees, so be aware of that. However, they also typically finalize the same day they’re completed — sometimes within minutes -meaning your recipient could have the money almost immediately.

And if time isn’t a concern, consider setting up a bank transfer instead. This option usually takes three to five business days and comes with fewer fees.

The cost of sending money to Honduras depends on several key factors, such as:

1.The payment method you use

2.The payout method (that is, the way your intended recipient gets the money)

3.Transfer amount

4.Currency exchange rates

Bank remittances are usually the cheapest option, while credit and debit card transfers can come with additional fees. This is especially true with credit card payments, as some credit card companies will charge extra. Keep in mind, though, that international money transfers usually come with certain charges — regardless of how you go about it.

As an international remittance service, Ria strives to keep our rates and fees as low as possible on money transfers to Honduras and other countries. We do that by working with financial institutions worldwide to get you the lowest possible fees and best exchange rates. At times, we also have promo codes to cut down on some of the more unavoidable fees.

The overall transfer amount includes all fees. If you want to see the cost of sending money to Honduras, here are your options:

5.Before you complete the transfer (but after you’ve logged into your account): You can see what it costs to send money to Honduras via the app or website. Simply log into your account and go to “Send” or “Send Money.” Then, select your destination country, how much you want to send, your payout currency, and your payment and delivery methods.

6.Before you initiate a transfer (without logging in): You can go to Ria’s website for an estimate of what it will cost.

Both options can help prevent you from being surprised by any fees or charges associated with sending money overseas.

We offer several ways to track your money transfer to Honduras, but the easiest option is to use our Track a Transfer tool, which provides real-time updates of your transfer — no matter where you are.

Here’s how to use this free online feature:

1.After logging into your Ria account: Once logged in, choose “Track” (from the app) or “Track a transfer” (from the website). Then, input the transfer’s unique personal identification number (PIN) to see its status.

2.Without logging into your Ria account: If you don’t have a Ria account, you can still use the Track a Transfer feature. You’ll still need the unique PIN, however. This enables both the sender and recipient to see the transfer status at any point.

Two things are worth noting.

3.If you reside in Australia, you must also provide your birth date and recipient’s country (Honduras) to track the transfer.

4.As the sender, you’ll also receive emailed updates regarding the transfer’s status and any major changes.

There are several ways to send money to Honduras safely and efficiently. Which method is the best for you is a personal decision — it all comes down to how fast you need the Honduras money transfer to arrive, how you want your friends and family to receive it, and how you want to pay.

Bank transfers: You can use your bank to transfer money to a bank in Honduras through an international wire transfer. With this method, there’s no cash involved — you simply instruct your bank to send money to your recipient’s bank account. 

To complete a wire transfer through your bank, you usually must provide your recipient’s name, address, contact information, and banking information. This includes their international bank account number (IBAN) and their bank’s SWIFT/BIC code. 

There are several drawbacks to using a bank transfer to send money to Honduras. For one, both you and your recipient need to have bank accounts at institutions that allow international transfers. 

For another, they’re typically expensive. Some banks charge as much as $50 for the convenience of an international wire transfer to the sender. And a few charge a fee to the recipient as well. In addition, your bank may limit the amount of money you can send through this method.

Money transfer agents: Traditional money transfer agents allow customers to send money abroad using cash. These agents usually have offices you can visit to fund the transfer with cash. Your recipient can then visit the transfer agent’s office closest to them and receive the money as cash. 

Of course, one of the main drawbacks of using this method for sending money is that your recipient must live near a transfer agent’s office. Another is the fact that these agents sometimes have complicated pricing structures, and fees and exchange rates can vary widely.

Money orders: Sending an international money order is similar to sending a check through the mail. You can buy a pre-paid money order certificate from your local post office or bank and then send it directly to your recipient via international mail. They can then redeem the certificate for cash.

There are several big disadvantages to this money-sending method, mainly that it’s expensive and slow.

If you send money via Ria, you’ll first need an account. To do this, you’ll need to provide the following information about yourself:

•Your full legal name (matching your government-issued photo ID)

•Your country of residence (or where you’re sending money from)

•Your email address

•A valid phone number for verification purposes

•Your date of birth

You’ll also need to input personal and contact details about your recipient to ensure the transfer goes smoothly without any delays. This typically includes their:

•Full legal name (also matching their ID)

•Address in Honduras

•Basic contact information (e.g., their email address and phone number)

•Bank name, account number, and code or routing number (for bank transfers only)

•Mobile wallet number (for mobile wallet transfers only)

You’ll also need to input:

•The payment method: Depends on where you’re sending money from and whether you’re using the app or the website.

•The payout method: How you’d like your remittance to arrive, and in what currency

•The transfer amount: Including any currency exchange or transfer fees

Make sure you use a secure method to get information about your recipient for the money transfer. And only share information with services you trust.

To ensure your transfer arrives at the right place, you should also set up tracking for your Honduras remittance. If you’ve scheduled a transfer through Ria, you can use our Track a Transfer tool to do this. You can also keep an eye on your inbox for emails regarding your transfer’s status.

If you’re in the USA or Canada, you can set up a Honduras money transfer from the Ria app or website. Start by signing into your existing account or create a new one if you don’t have one. If you haven’t verified your phone number or set up your online profile yet, you can do that now.

Since this is your first money transfer to Honduras, you’ll need to add a new recipient to your account — that is, the person who will receive money in Honduras. Adding a recipient is easy. Just provide basic information about them, such as their name, current location, and phone number. If you want to transfer money to their bank, input their bank account details as well.

Once you’ve added a recipient to your account, you can decide how much money to send them — either in your currency or theirs. At this point, you can also select the payout method. Remember, each payout method comes with its own advantages and fees.

With that done, simply choose your payment method for the Honduras remittance. You can add a new payment method to your account on the website or the app.

Once you’ve completed that first transfer, the process becomes even easier as your recipient’s basic information is saved to your account. Ria doesn’t store your recipient’s bank account information, however, so you will need to input that again.

Some money transfers go through within minutes of setting them up. However, you might have to wait a few hours or days before your transfer is complete.

That’s where tracking your transfer comes into play. You can use the Track a Transfer feature for status updates on your Honduras remittance. You’ll just need the PIN, which you can find in your account or the confirmation email you received after scheduling the transfer. Your recipient can also use this tool.

A standard money transfer to Honduras doesn’t take very long to complete, though it depends on the payment and payout methods. If you’ve chosen a debit or credit card transfer, your recipient should receive money in Honduras within minutes. A bank transfer, on the other hand, can take several business days to complete.

Certain factors may delay your transfer. For example, if you set up the transfer outside local business hours or on a holiday or weekend, it might take a little longer. In some cases, Ria will also request additional information from you for security purposes, which could cause additional delays.

Senders and recipients can use Ria’s Track a Transfer feature for real-time transfer updates. All you need is the transfer’s PIN and order number.

Senders can also use the Ria app to track the transaction — just tap the “Track” option. In addition, senders will be notified by email when their recipient has picked up or received the money — or if there’s another major status change.

If you’re living, studying, working, or traveling abroad in Honduras, it’s a good idea to brush up on your options for receiving money while overseas. That way, you won’t be in a financial bind if something happens and you need some cash quickly.

Here are a few ways you can receive money in Honduras:

•Money transfer agent: Just as you can send money overseas using a money transfer agent, you can also receive money using one. Before choosing one, shop around for a couple of different options and check their online reputation on sites like Trustpilot or the Better Business Bureau.

•Online bank transfer: As long as you’re not in a hurry, requesting a digital transfer to your bank account could be a great option. It might take a few extra days to come through, but then the money will be in your account to use as you see fit. 

•Cash pickup: Depending on where you live in Honduras, you could request a cash pickup from someone abroad. All you’ll need to do is tell them where to send the money. They’ll schedule the transfer, and you can pick it up once it’s ready. You can even track the transfer online, so you know when to go. You must bring an official photo ID (like a driver’s license or passport) and the transfer’s PIN to get the cash.

With a digital remittance service — like Ria — you can receive money in Honduras via a bank transfer or a cash pickup. Just ask someone to schedule a bank transfer or cash pickup to your nearest location, which is easy since Ria has nearly 4,000 locations in Honduras.

Regardless of your chosen method, make sure it’s fast and secure.

Depending on the payment method you choose, your transfer could go through more quickly or be slightly delayed. Certain payment options also come with additional transfer fees or currency conversion fees.

If you schedule a Honduras remittance via Ria, you have several ways to pay for the transfer. These exact options depend on where you live and whether you use the app or the website.

Unfortunately, you can't use Zelle to send money to Honduras from Australia.

That's because Zelle currently works only with bank accounts based in the U.S. There's no way to make a money transfer to an international account. Both the recipient and the sender must have U.S.-based checking or savings accounts — as well as U.S. phone numbers.

Instead, consider using an online money transfer service like Ria. Ria is quick, safe, and convenient. We offer great exchange rates, low fees (with no hidden charges), and a variety of payment and pickup options — all from our website or mobile app.

Ria serves customers in more than 165 countries — meaning sending money to or receiving money in Honduras is a breeze. You don't even need to have a bank account to use Ria — unlike with Zelle. Send money now with Ria. 

Currently, you can't use Venmo to send money to Honduras. That's because only U.S. residents can use the app to send or receive money transfers.

Venmo may not work with international accounts. But Ria serves more than 165 countries around the globe — including Honduras. Ria makes sending money internationally simple, quick, and secure. Your recipient in Honduras could get the money transfer in as little as 15 minutes if you use Ria. Plus, there are no additional fees.  You are fully aware of all costs and the amount of Canadian dollars your recipient will get before you even complete the transfer.

Send money now with Ria.

Visit any Ria location, use our website, or log into our mobile app to send money directly to your recipient’s bank account in Honduras. All you need is:

1.The recipient’s full legal name (as it appears on their bank account)

2.The name of the recipient’s bank 

3.The recipient’s bank account number or IBAN (international bank account number)

Ria will take care of the rest!

Hands down, sending money via electronic transfer is the safest way to send money to Honduras.

In the old days, it was common for people to send remittances by mailing cash. Not only does this method take a long time (they call it “snail mail” for a good reason), but it’s also just not safe. The mailed money could get stolen or lost at any point during its long journey.

Instead, using an online money transfer service like Ria ensures that your money gets exactly where you intend it to go. 

In addition, Ria’s team of world-class security experts works around the clock to monitor your money transfers and keep a watchful eye out for unusual behavior. Ria’s software allows the team to spot any suspicious activity long before any harm can be done to your account.

Plus, Ria never stores your payment details on its servers. So, your credit or debit card or bank account information will never be compromised in Ria’s system.

Your safety is Ria’s number one priority when sending money to Honduras.

Here are the best ways to send money to a friend or loved one in Honduras:

•Money order: You can purchase a money order at a post office or certain major retailers. Include a tracking number to ensure it reaches its destination.

•Digital wallet: If your recipient has a mobile wallet, you can send them money electronically.

•Cash: Schedule a cash pickup at a physical location near your friend using an international remittance service.

•Credit or debit card: Send money directly to your recipient using your credit or debit card.
