Send money to Morocco

If you want to send money to a friend or loved one in Morocco, you have a few options. First, you must ask yourself a few questions: How much do you want to pay? When does the money need to get there? What banking tools do you and the recipient currently use? What country do you live in?

Depending on your answers, you might choose one of the following secure transfer options:

•International bank transfer: An international bank transfer requires you to use your checking or savings account to send money to a bank account in another country. The recipient must give you some additional information to ensure it arrives at the right location, including the international bank account number (IBAN) and a SWIFT/BIC code for the checking or savings account. This method comes with additional fees and has a slower delivery time than some other options. You can expect it to take a few days (or more) for the money to arrive at its destination.

•Money transfer agents: This is a traditional way of sending money, requiring you to work through a third-party company to send cash to Morocco. It can take less time to send money this way than an international bank transfer — but watch out for fees. It can cost significantly more to send cash, and you won’t always be offered the best currency exchange rate available.

•International money orders: This method utilizes paper checks and snail mail, just like sending a regular check. Once you get an international money order from a vendor at a store, post office, or bank, you can put it in the mail to arrive at the destination in Morocco. However, international mail can take many days (or weeks) and be costly. Plus, there's no guarantee the check won't get lost or stolen in the mail.

•Ria: A more modern and convenient approach to sending money is Ria. This online money transfer service can be done from the convenience of your home on a desktop computer or when using the app on your mobile device. For those without access to the internet, an in-person retail store can assist. With service to over 165 countries, including Morocco, you can send money to arrive within days or even minutes. It offers low fees, great exchange rates, and a secure way to send cash to loved ones. 

If you opt for Ria, you can choose how you want to fund the transfer — whether it’s a credit or debit card, your bank account, or cash in person at a participating location. The recipient can also pick between a direct bank deposit, cash pickup, home delivery, or a mobile wallet deposit.

It can take anywhere from a few minutes to five business days to send money to an overseas location — including Morocco. 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 Morocco 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 Morocco, 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 Morocco 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 Morocco 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 Morocco, 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 Morocco 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 Morocco, 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 (Morocco) 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 Morocco safely and efficiently. Which method is the best for you is a personal decision — it all comes down to how fast you need the Morocco 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 Morocco 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 Morocco. 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. 

Online money transfer services: Online money transfer services such as Ria make it easy to send money to Morocco and more than 165 other countries around the globe. Ria charges no sneaky hidden fees, so your Morocco remittance will go further.

Sending money requires some information to make sure it gets to the right person. How much information you provide depends on the method of money transfer you choose. To mail an international money order, for example, you’ll need the correct mailing address of the recipient; international wire transfers can’t be done without the IBAN and SWIFT/BAN codes.

Ria makes it seamless to send money to anywhere in the world, including Morocco. To send money, have the following information handy:

•The recipient’s full name, exactly as it appears on a government-issued photo ID

•The city and state or province where the recipient is located

•The amount of local currency or Moroccan dirham you want to send, based on Ria's conversion calculator 

•Payment details of your funding type, including bank account number, credit card number, or debit card number

•Payout details, including receiving bank account number or digital wallet account number

You may also need the recipient's phone number and street address (for home cash deliveries).

If you’re in the USA or Canada, you can set up a Morocco 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 Morocco, you’ll need to add a new recipient to your account — that is, the person who will receive money in Morocco. 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 Morocco 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 Morocco 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 Morocco 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 Morocco 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.

You can use Ria money transfers to get money in Morocco through one of these methods:

•Cash pickup: Have the sender specify which participating location you want to receive the money at, and you’ll be able to go there in person to pick up your cash. Don’t forget to bring your government-issued ID with a name that matches the name on the payment and the PIN from the Ria transfer.

•Bank transfer: Get money sent directly to your Moroccan bank account when you provide the sender with your bank account number, bank name or SWIFT code, and the type of account you have (checking or savings.) If you don’t have this information yet, your bank can give it to you.

•Mobile wallet: If you have an Orange Money digital wallet account, you can have your Ria money transfer sent directly to that account. Just provide your mobile wallet number to the sender so they can initiate the transfer.

•Home delivery: Don’t want to leave your house? You’re in luck! Ria offers home delivery to Moroccan recipients. If you use this option, you’ll need to share your exact home address with the sender before the transfer takes place.

If you want to send money to a friend or family member in Morocco, you’ll have a few ways to fund it, depending on where you live.

If you use the Ria website, you can use:

•Bank transfer from the U.S.

•Cash from the U.S.

•Debit or credit card from Australia, Canada, Spain, the U.K., or the U.S.

Ria mobile app users may be able to use these additional methods:

Unfortunately, you can't use Zelle to send money to 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 Australia 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 Morocco. 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 Morocco. Ria makes sending money internationally simple, quick, and secure. Your recipient in Morocco 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 Moroccan 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 Morocco. All you need is:

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

•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 Morocco.

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 Morocco.

Safely transfer money from where you are to a recipient in Morocco using these options:

•International money order: This option relies on international mail, which may be slow or unsecured. Postage can also be costly.

•International bank transfer: With a processing time of up to a few business days, this slower method lets you send money from one bank account to another.

•Third-party money transfer agent: Quicker than some methods, this option may charge hefty fees and may not give the best currency exchange rate.

•Ria: With the convenience of the desktop site or mobile app, Ria gives you a low-fee way to send money in as little as 15 minutes. The recipient can receive their money in several ways, including at a retailer, through their mobile wallet, or as a home delivery.

Ria users can initiate a transfer in just a few minutes, sending money to their Moroccan recipient quickly and securely. Here’s how to use the app or desktop:

•Register for a free Ria account. Provide your full name, birthday, and contact information to complete your registration. Some locations require a few additional details.

•Click or tap the button to “Send” or “Send money.”

•Select “Morocco” from the drop-down list of recipient locations.

•Type in the amount you want to send to see the exchange rate and fees. You’ll immediately see the total cost to send money and how much your friend or family member will receive.

•Pick a payment option. Your location determines what choices you see here. Choose a linked savings or checking account, credit card, or debit card. If you prefer to use cash, visit one of several participating locations.

•Choose how you want your recipient to receive their money. They can get the cash in person at a participating location, have it transferred directly into their bank account or mobile wallet, or even have it conveniently delivered to their home address.

•Click “Continue.”

•Type in the recipient’s full name as it appears on their government-issued ID, along with their city and province.

•Include all the details needed for the money to arrive safely in Morocco. This may include their preferred cash pickup location or mobile wallet account number.

•Finish and confirm your transaction.
