bpost demonstrates commitment to financial inclusion in Belgium
bpost and Ria Money Transfer have announced the renewal of their partnership for a period of five years, reinforcing their commitment to providing accessible and secure money transfer solutions.
This partnership, established through a public tender, highlights the added value of bpost’s network of 656 post offices for private partners and citizens across Belgium.
Enabling secure money transfers to over 197 countries and territories in just minutes from one of the 656 Belgian post offices is the goal of the partnership between bpost and Ria Money Transfer, one of the global leaders in the money transfer sector and a business segment of Euronet. This service meets a crucial need, particularly for people with loved ones abroad who wish to provide fast and reliable financial support. It also contributes to promoting financial inclusion in a world where banking transactions are becoming increasingly digital.
Ria Money Transfer and bpost began working together in 2020 to facilitate international money transfers. With the previous contract set to expire in February 2025, a new tender was launched, which Ria successfully won.
“This partnership fits perfectly with bpost’s DNA and the transformation of our post offices into multi-service hubs,” explains Tina Hernalsteen, Retail & Banking Director. “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, also welcomes the renewed partnership: “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.”
Money transfers are essential for many families around the world. This collaboration is therefore crucial for international communities living in Belgium.
