Security is one of the most important things to consider when sending money to Spain — or to any other country abroad. Look for international remittance services that prioritize security and privacy for transferring money overseas.

With Ria, you get multiple digital and physical safeguards to protect your data, including:

•24/7 security monitoring

•Real-time updates

•Policy to never store your payment information or your recipient’s bank account details on our servers

•Email notifications regarding your transfer’s status

Sending money to a Spanish account is easy. Here’s how to do it:

1.Put in your recipient’s full name — matching their government ID.

2.Input your recipient’s bank account details (for bank transfers only). Ria does not store this information.

3.Review the information, pay the transfer fee, and finalize the transfer.

If you’ve already initiated a transfer and have found that the information you provided is wrong, you can update it in your Ria account. This could cause a delay in the transfer, but it will also ensure the money arrives where it needs to be.

Living overseas can be complicated at times. The way you receive money shouldn’t be. If you want to receive money in Spain safely and quickly, here are several options:

•Cash transfer: Ria has an expansive network of physical locations globally, with over 16,000 branches in Spain alone. If you want to receive money in person, simply ask your sender to set up a cash pickup. You can then find a Ria location near you and get your money that way. Simply input your current address on the website or app. You can narrow your search results by specifying your location, required services, and local business hours. Bring your government-issued photo ID and the unique PIN associated with your transfer when visiting a Ria location. You’ll need this to be able to pick up the cash.

•Mobile wallet: Ria also lets you deposit funds into your recipient’s mobile wallet. While Ria has a mobile wallet, it’s unavailable in Spain.

You can also receive money in Spain via:

•International money order

•Bank transfer

•Credit or debit card transfer

After sending money to Spain, check the email address associated with your Ria account for updates. You’ll receive emails about any significant changes to the transfer — such as when it arrives.Alternatively, you can actively track the transfer through the app or website using the “Track a Transfer” tool. What’s convenient about this tool is that your recipient can also use it to see the transfer status — even without an account.

Whether you’re on the website or the app, you’ll need to enter the unique PIN you received in your transfer’s original confirmation email. If you’ve lost or cannot find the email, you can also find the PIN in your Ria account.

Generally speaking, Spain remittances don’t take long to complete — usually within minutes or days. However, several factors can affect the speed of your transfer, including your:

•Payout method

•Payment method

•When you set up the transfer

Certain types of transfers — such as bank transfers — can take up to five business days. Other payout methods, like credit or debit card transfers, typically finalize within a few minutes or hours.

You may experience delays if you’ve initiated the transfer outside of local business hours or if we require additional information for security purposes.

Sending money to Spain is fast, convenient, and secure. You will, however, need to provide a few details about your recipient to schedule a money transfer. This typically includes the following:

•First and last name (matching their government-issued ID)

•Spain address

•Current phone number

•The amount you want to transfer (including any transfer fees and the current exchange rate)

•Payment method

•Payout method (e.g., cash pickup, bank deposit, home delivery, or digital wallet)

With certain payout methods, you’ll need to provide additional details. For instance, a bank transfer usually requires the bank name, account number, and routing number.

Sending money to Spain is easy and convenient. Here are the main ways to go about it:

•Bank remittance: If you don’t mind waiting a few days, a bank transfer is one possible way to send and receive money overseas. While longer, this method is typically less expensive than other options.

•Money transfer agent: Similar to bank transfers, going through an agent for your transfer takes a few days, though the exact timeframe varies by agent. This option still lets you safely send money overseas for a fee.

•International money order: You can fill out a money order with the exact amount you want to send and mail it to your intended recipient. Once they receive it, they can convert it into their local currency. Depending on your location, this option can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks.

•Credit card or debit card: If you’re looking for speed and convenience, set up a money transfer via credit or debit card. These options may cost more money than a standard bank transfer but tend to be quicker.

Lastly, you could go through an online money transfer service like Ria Money Transfer, a safe and easy way to send money to Spain. Ria can even help you get competitive rates, low fees, fast transfer times, and security — everything you need when sending money abroad. Ria also has more than 16,000 branches throughout Spain, convenient for anyone who prefers a cash pickup.

We know how important it is to be able to track your transfer, so we strive to make it as simple as possible for both the sender and the recipient. To that end, we’ve developed a “Track a Transfer” tool that gives you real-time tracking updates, regardless of where you are.

All you need is the unique PIN associated with your transfer. If you reside in Australia, you’ll also need to input your recipient’s country and your (the sender’s) date of birth.

You can use the Track a Transfer tool from the website, even if you don’t have an account. Simply go to “Track a transfer” and input your unique PIN to see any pending transfers. If you have a Ria account, you can also track your transfers from the Ria app.

If you can’t find your PIN, check your Ria account if you have one. Your PIN should also be in the confirmation email you received when setting up your transfer.

You’ll also receive automatic updates via email letting you know about any significant changes to your Spain remittance, such as when it goes through. You can also share the transfer details with your recipient so they can track the transfer. To do this, find the “Activity” screen on the website or app and select “Transfer Details.”

When sending money to Spain, it’s important to be aware of any fees. The exact cost can vary based on the payment and payout methods you choose, as well as the currency and transfer amount.

You can get a cost estimate before completing your transfer by logging into your Ria account from the website or app. You can also get an estimate based on any relevant transfer fees and the current exchange rate without logging in, though it may be less precise.

From the app, select “Check price” or “Send” to see how much it will cost. Then, choose your destination country — Spain — the amount you’re sending, your payout currency, payment method, and delivery method. If you have a promo code, you can enter it to save money.

Usually, the most affordable way to send money is through a bank account. However, this method may take longer than other methods.

It can take up to five business days to send money to Spain, though certain types of transfers will go through in minutes. The exact time depends on your payment method, origin country, and when you make the money transfer.

If, for example, you set up a Spain money transfer via cash pickup at a Ria location, it could take several minutes to a few hours to process. The same goes for a debit or credit card transfer. On the other hand, a bank account transfer typically takes three to five business days. And if you go through a money transfer agent, it could take a few days or more to go through, depending on the agent.

Keep in mind that some international currencies can only be transferred during local business hours. Your transfer could be delayed if you try to send money over the weekend, on a federal holiday, or after standard business hours.

If you want to send money to Spain, you’re in the right place. All you need to do is visit the Ria website, download the app, or visit a Ria location. Whichever method you choose, the process is quick, easy, and secure.

To set up an online money transfer to Spain, start by logging into your Ria account. From there, select either “Send money” or “Send.” You can then choose the country you want to send money to — in this case, Spain.

Fill out the “You send” section with the amount of money you want to send in your country’s currency. Or complete the “Recipient gets” section indicating the exact amount you want your recipient to receive.

Once that’s done, choose your delivery method. You can send money to your recipient’s bank account or their digital wallet. Or, if you’d prefer, you can set up a cash pickup.

If you’ve previously sent money to someone, you can simply choose that recipient to send money to. Otherwise, you’ll need to add a new recipient to your account using their full name, country, city, and state (if applicable). To complete a Spain remittance via bank transfer, be prepared to provide your recipient’s bank name, account number, and routing number.

Last but not least, choose how you would like to pay for the money transfer. With Ria, you can pay using a debit or credit card, bank transfer, or cash.

Review everything and complete the transfer. While you wait for it to go through, watch for any notifications about your transfer’s status.
