Belgian postal operator bpost has renewed its partnership with Ria Money Transfer for an additional five years to provide accessible and secure money transfer solutions at its network of 656 post offices across Belgium.
The partnership enables secure money transfers for citizens to over 197 countries, promoting financial inclusion in a world where banking transactions are becoming increasingly digital.
“This partnership fits perfectly with bpost’s DNA and the transformation of our post offices into multi-service hubs,” explained Tina Hernalsteen, retail and banking director at bpost.
“We ensure that every citizen can send money abroad, close to home. In a society where banking transactions are becoming more digital, cash international money transfers are still possible. With over 500 ATMs and services like this, we actively promote financial inclusion.”
Enric Balcells, managing director Europe at Ria Money Transfer, added, “At Ria, we are constantly seeking to work with partners who not only share our growth mindset but also our values. The renewal of our partnership with bpost demonstrates our shared commitment to financial inclusion in Belgium and across Europe.”
Ria Money Transfer and bpost began working together in 2020 to facilitate international money transfers, supporting international communities living in Belgium.
