Digicel Fiji announces an exciting collaboration and expansion of its money transfer platform with Ria, a global leader in money transmission services. Ria offers a convenient and secure way to send money to Fiji on the MyCash mobile wallet.

Senders using Ria's extensive global network, with over 500 agents in Australia and New Zealand and more than 300 in the USA, can now transfer money directly to the MyCash mobile wallet. This new service provides an alternative to traditional cash collection because funds are immediately accessible on the customer's phone. For those who prefer cash, the partnership also allows recipients to pick up their money at any Digicel Fiji retail outlet.

Ria’s service responds to the growing demand for instant, safe, and easy digital payment outlets.  This simplifies remittance, with recipients able to receive their money from their mobile phones seamlessly for bill payments, buying goods, or savings.

Digicel Fiji CEO, Farid Mohammed, said; “The collaboration with Ria makes it easier and more convenient for people everywhere to send and receive money. We're empowering communities to close the gap between old and new ways of money transfer opportunities. This new service is about connecting people and giving them secure access to the financial support they require for their loved ones in Fiji in their hands."

Ria Regional Director Business Development, Steve Peregrino, said; "Our partnership with Digicel Pacific is a significant step in our mission to provide the most accessible and efficient money transfer services globally. By enabling direct deposits into the MyCash mobile wallet, we are not only streamlining the payment process but also empowering beneficiaries in Fiji with instant access to their funds, helping to bridge the gap between global remittance and local financial inclusion."

The new service further reinforces Ria's leadership in cross-border money transfer and reflects Digicel Fiji's commitment to mobile financial services development. The two companies are committed to enhancing financial inclusion and providing a secure, modern payment solution that speaks to evolving customers' needs.
