Digicel Vanuatu announces an exciting collaboration and expansion of its money transfer services with Ria Money Transfer (Ria), a global leader in the cross-border money transfer industry and business segment of Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: EEFT). Ria offers a convenient and secure way to send money to Vanuatu on the MyCash mobile wallet and cash pick up  from any Digicel Vanuatu retail stores.

Ria's extensive global network, which includes over 635,000 locations worldwide – including Australia, New Zealand and the United States – and with digital connections to 4.1 billion bank accounts, 3.4 billion digital wallet accounts and 4.0 billion Visa debit cards through Visa Direct payments., now allows senders to transfer money directly to the MyCash mobile wallet. This new service provides an alternative to traditional cash pickup, as funds are immediately accessible on the customer's phone. For recipients who still prefer cash, the partnership maintains the option to collect money at Digicel Vanuatu retail stores.

Ria’s service responds to the growing demand for instant, safe, and easy digital payment outlets. This simplifies remittance, with recipients able to receive their money from their mobile phones seamlessly for bill payments, buying goods, or savings.

Digicel Vanuatu CEO, Gary Sue-Fong, said; “The collaboration with Ria makes it simpler and more convenient for people everywhere to send and receive money. We're actively empowering communities by bridging the gap between traditional and modern money transfer methods. This new service is designed to connect people and give them secure, fingertip access to the financial support their loved ones in Vanuatu need.”

Ria Regional Director Business Development, Steve Peregrino, said; "Our partnership with Digicel Vanuatu is a significant step in our mission to provide the most accessible and efficient money transfer services globally. By enabling direct deposits into the MyCash mobile wallet, we are not only streamlining the payment process but also empowering beneficiaries in Vanuatu with instant access to their funds, helping to bridge the gap between global remittance and local financial inclusion."

The launch of this new service strengthens Ria's position as a leader in cross-border money transfer and underscores Digicel Vanuatu’s commitment to advancing mobile financial services. Both companies are committed to boosting financial inclusion, providing a secure, modern payment solution that directly addresses the evolving needs of their customers.
