Ria Money Transfer is now offering zero-fee transactions on all bank deposits to Pakistan, in a bid to help support those affected by the country’s devasting floods. This service will be available via the Ria Money Transfer app and website.

The floods have directly affected over 2.1 million people and put a third of the whole country under water. In its wake, destroying hundreds of thousands of homes, forcing people and people to flee the most dangerous areas.

People in Pakistan are now increasingly relying on international remittances and charitable donations for food, shelter, and other basic necessities such as clean drinking water and medicine.

Jose Cabral, Managing Director Europe at Ria said: “The floods in Pakistan have had devastating effects on people, their homes, and livelihoods. We hope that our zero fees offer makes it easier for  families and friends of those affected who are living abroad to send loved one's financial aid and support them through this difficult period.”

As part of Ria’s commitment to the communities it serves, the company is also supporting its global partner Save the Children, with their emergency appeal to help Pakistani children and families affected by the floods. All donations made in a Ria store will be matched by the money transfer company and given to Save the Children. These funds will help the charity provide temporary shelters and distribute household kits and food packs to those that crucially need them.

This zero-fee initiative along with the Save the Children promise will run until the 23rd of September.

This all marks yet another step in the company’s continued commitment to Pakistan. Through Ria UK & Ireland's CSR Program, they have also been raising funds to sponsor the education costs of the Sarabastall Foundation's scholarship program which supports children in the Hushe Valley. The program enables children, especially young girls, to complete their elementary and secondary studies, empowering them to pursue further education and become engines of development in their community.
