What types of businesses thrive as Ria agents?

Retail & essentials

We partner with businesses that offer everyday products, including convenience stores, mini markets, grocery stores, and dollar stores. These multi-service stores already serve daily needs, making them ideal locations for additional services like money transfers.

Financial & professional services

Many Ria agents run check cashing locations, insurance offices, tax services, or legal support businesses. Since they already offer financial or professional services, adding Ria is a natural, trusted way to give more value to their customers.

Personal & community services

Salons, laundromats, party supply stores, and small restaurants often serve tight-knit communities. Offering money transfer and bill payment services helps strengthen those customer relationships while increasing repeat visits.

Telecom, travel & logistics

Cellular shops, travel agencies, bus companies, and parcel services attract customers who are already thinking about staying connected with loved ones or sending things abroad—money transfers naturally align with these needs.

Specialty shops

Specialty shops—like gift shops, jewelry stores, and small furniture stores—can easily add valuable services like Ria to diversify their income and offer more reasons for customers to visit.
