How it works
Money can be sent online. Enter the amount in euros that you want to send, and you will immediately see the amount in shekels that will be debited from your card. You can choose one of two ways to send money: instant transfer with cash payout or transfer to a bank account. As soon as you confirm your money transfer details, you can pay for it with a credit card. The money will be sent immediately as soon as we receive the payment confirmation.
The recipient can pick up cash in any RIA Money Transfer service point. They must present an identity card and transfer number, which is sent to the sender and recipient after confirmation of the payment.
To send a transfer to a bank account, you need to specify the recipient’s account number (IBAN). Depending on the beneficiary’s bank, the delivery time can range from a few seconds to one business day.
How to send a money transfer to Ireland
1. Tell us how much money you want to send
Specify the payout method (cash or to a bank account), and the amount of the transfer that will be paid to the recipient. Then click the “GET TOTAL” button to see the amount of the transfer in shekels, taking into account the current exchange rate, the commission for the transfer and the total amount in shekels that will be debited from your card.
The exchange rate is fixed until the transaction is complete to ensure that the recipient is paid exactly the amount you are sending.
We have no hidden fees or charges. The exact amount that you see on the screen before confirming the transfer will be debited from your card.
2. Tell us who're you sending to
We’ll ask you for some basic information about your recipient:
- First name

Your phone number will be verified using a WhatsApp message with the 4-digit verification code. In order to continue, you will need to enter this verification code.
4. Make sure everything looks good
We’ll show you a summary of your transfer. If everything looks good, click Next. You can also press Back and make any changes you need to.

We accept credit cards issued in Israel with 3D secure support. 3D Secure (3-domain secure), also known as Payer Authentication is a security protocol to prevent fraud in transactions with credit and debit cards online.

A transfer control number will be also sent by text message to your phone. If you have provided us with recipient’s phone number, then the recipient will receive a text message with a control number as well. Otherwise you will need to send this number to the recipient by yourself.
How to track a transfer
You can check the status of the sent transfer on the RIA Money Transfer website.
