Digicel Samoa announced a collaboration with Ria Money Transfer (Ria), a global leader in the cross-border money transfer industry and business segment of Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: EEFT), to introduce a convenient and secure way to send money into the MyCash mobile wallet, with the option for cash pickup at selected Digicel Samoa retail stores.
Ria's extensive global network, which includes over 635,000 locations worldwide – including Australia, New Zealand and the United States – and digital connections to 4.1 billion bank accounts, 3.4 billion digital wallet accounts and four billion Visa debit cards through Visa Direct payments, now allows senders to transfer money directly to a MyCash mobile wallet in Samoa.
This service provides an alternative to traditional cash pickup, as funds are immediately accessible on the customer's phone. For recipients who still prefer cash, there is still the option to collect money from participating Digicel Samoa retail stores.
As part of the initial launch, the services will be available at three Digicel Samoa retail locations: SNPF Plaza, Faleolo International Airport, and Salelologa in Savai’i, with additional locations expected to roll out soon.
