It’s one of my two favorite and best money transfer apps. I would recommend everyone who would like to send money abroad to use Ria

Learn why millions of people love using Ria

Sending money to Jamaica using Ria is fast, convenient, and safe. You can send the funds via the Ria app, our website, or by visiting one of our 500,000-plus locations around the globe.

To start a Jamaica money transfer online, create a Ria account, then click the “Send” or “Send money” button. Next, select “Jamaica” from the list of available countries and enter the amount you want to send as your Jamaica payment. Ria will show you both the exchange rate and the amount of Jamaican dollars (JMD) your recipient will get.

The next step is to choose how you want to fund the transfer. You can send money through a linked checking or savings account, using a credit or debit card, or by visiting a participating location and funding the transaction with cash.

You must also decide how you want your recipient in Jamaica to receive the funds. They can pick up cash at a participating location near them or receive it directly into their checking or savings account. Once you’ve made your choice, click “Continue.”

Now it’s time to create a new Ria recipient (unless you have them saved already). To do this, you’ll need the recipient’s first and last names (as they appear on their photo ID), the city and parish or county in which they live, and the name of their bank and their bank account number (if you’re opting to have the funds deposited in their account).

Finally, select your payment method and add bank or card details (if applicable). That’s it! Your money is on its way to Jamaica!

If you opt for a money order or a money transfer agent, the time it takes to send money to Jamaica can vary widely. Money orders depend on snail mail, which can be unreliable. Transfer agents also offer very different timeframes and varying rates. 

An option like Ria is much more reliable, with some transfer methods taking just a few minutes. For example, if you pay using a credit or debit card, the funds can be in Jamaica in as little as 15 minutes, although sometimes this method takes up to six hours. If you’ve chosen to use a connected bank account, it could take up to four or five business days to complete the transaction - but no longer. 

Keep in mind that if you start the Ria money transfer outside local business hours (such as in the evening or during the weekend), it might slightly affect the timeframe.

How long does it take to send money to Jamaica?

The fees you pay for sending money to Jamaica vary depending on which country you’re sending the money from, how you funded the transfer, how your recipient will receive the money, and how much money you’re transferring.

However, there’s no guessing when you use Ria. Our website and app will always show you the fees before you send any money to Jamaica. In addition, you can use the app’s “Check our rates” feature to find out exactly how much it will cost to send a Jamaica remittance without even logging in.

You can save even more money with Ria by signing up for notifications. We’ll send you exclusive promotions, discounts, and special offers for sending money to Jamaica or any of the other 165+ countries we serve.

How much does it cost to send money to Jamaica?

Ria makes tracking your money transfer to Jamaica easy with our Track a Transfer tool. This service provides both senders and recipients with real-time updates. All you need to use the tool is the transaction PIN and order number (you can find both numbers in your confirmation email). 

In addition, senders can tap “Track” on the Ria app to track in real-time. Senders also receive email updates about major status changes (such as when the recipient receives the money).

There are multiple ways to send money to Jamaica safely and efficiently. Deciding which method is best depends on your circumstances, including how quickly you need the money to arrive, how you want your friends and family to receive it, and how you want to pay for the transfer.

Bank transfers: Inform your bank to deposit the money directly in your recipient’s checking or savings account. You’ll need to know your recipient’s name, address, contact information, and potentially their international bank account number (IBAN) or their bank’s SWIFT/BIC code. However, this method can take several business days.

Money transfer agents: Send money abroad quickly using a third-party service. Fees can vary widely with this option.

Money orders: Purchase a pre-paid international money order and mail it to your recipient in Jamaica. They can then exchange it for cash in Jamaican dollars.

Online money transfer services (like Ria!): Ria can make it easy to send money to Jamaica, as well as more than 165 other countries around the globe. And with great rates and no hidden fees, your transfer will go even further when you send money through Ria. Your recipient can receive money in their bank account or pick it up in cash at any of our Jamaican locations.

To sign up online, visit riamoneytransfer.com and click “Register” in the top right-hand corner of the screen. Choose your country of residence and click “Get started.” You’ll need to enter your full name, date of birth, email address, password, phone number, and address.

To create an account using the Ria app, first download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, then select “Register” and enter your country of residence. You’ll also need to enter your first and last names, date of birth, email address, password, and phone number. You’ll also have to agree to our Terms of Conditions. Again, you may need to provide additional information if you live outside the U.S. or Canada.

How do I sign up for Ria so I can send money to Jamaica?

Sending a money transfer to Jamaica using Ria is straightforward. All you’ll need is the following info:

•Recipient’s full name as they appear on their government-issued ID

•Payment method (e.g., bank account, cash, or credit or debit card)

•Payout method (e.g., cash at a partner location or bank account deposit)

For bank transfers, you’ll need to provide additional information about your and your recipient’s banks and account numbers.

What information will I need to send money to Jamaica?

If you want to send money from the U.S. to Jamaica, Ria makes it straightforward. First, ensure you have signed up for a Ria account using our website. Alternatively, you can download our mobile app from the AppStore or Google Play and sign up that way.

Once you’ve logged in, click “Send” or “Send money” and scroll down to select “Jamaica” from the list of available countries. Next, enter the amount of money you want to send. Remember that Ria will always show you exactly how much your recipient will receive in Jamaican dollars, as well as all fees and our great transfer rates.

Then, choose how you want to pay for the transfer. You can use a credit or debit card to send money in as little as 15 minutes. Or you can link a bank account or visit a Ria location or other participating store to fund the transfer with cash.

You also get to decide how you want your recipient to receive the money in Jamaica. You can send money straight to their bank account, or they can visit a participating store near them to pick up cash. 

If this is your first time sending money to your friend or family member in Jamaica, you must add them as a recipient on your account. Enter their full name as it appears on their ID, along with the city and parish or county in which they live. If you’re having the money sent straight to their bank account, you’ll have to enter their bank’s name and account number.

Finally, enter your payment information, and you’re good to go! The system will save your payment and recipient details, so it will be even easier the next time you want to send money to Jamaica!

How do I set up my first money transfer from the U.S. to Jamaica?

You can track it using Ria’s online Track a Transfer tool, which allows both senders and receivers to view updates on the transaction status in real time. Your recipient can use it without even signing up for a Ria account.

If you used your debit or credit card to fund the transfer, allow 15 minutes to six hours for the transaction to be completed. If you used a linked bank account, your transfer could take a bit longer (usually up to four days). 

Also, keep an eye on your inbox. Ria will send you email updates once the transfer has been received or if there are any other status updates along the way.

What happens after I send my money transfer to Jamaica?

We’ve got you covered! The easiest way to keep track of a transfer is by using Ria’s Track a Transfer tool. You can use this service to see real-time updates. All you need to use Track a Transfer is the transaction’s PIN and order number (found in your confirmation email).

Senders can also tap the “Track” option on the Ria app to track the transfer in real time. You’ll also receive email updates when your recipient receives the money or if there’s any other major status change.

How do I view my transfer status when sending money from the U.S. to Jamaica?

There are two options for those receiving money in Jamaica using Ria. You can pick it up as cash at a location near you. Use our Location Finder tool to find a convenient local partner, and be sure to bring along your government-issued photo ID. Or you can ask your sender to deposit it directly in your checking or savings account. Make sure that the sender knows your full name exactly as it appears on the account, along with the name of your bank and bank account number.

Payment options depend on your location and whether you use Ria’s website or app. 

On the website, you can send money through credit or debit cards in several locations like the U.S., the U.K., Australia, and Spain. U.S. senders can also use a bank transfer or cash. 

Credit and debit cards are also the most commonly accepted payment form on the Ria app. In countries like Chile and Singapore, you can send via cash on the app, while only the U.S. allows bank transfers. Other countries have additional payment methods, like Klarna in Germany and Austria or Sencillito in Chile.
