Ria Money Transfer Celebrates Inaugural International Day of Family Remittances
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Ria Takes Part in Global Forum on Remittances and Development 2015 in Milan,
Italy
MILAN, Italy, June 16, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, June 16, marks the first
International Day of Family Remittances. As a global facilitator of low-cost
remittances, Ria Money Transfer ("Ria"), the third largest money transfer
company in the world, would like to recognise this day and acknowledge and thank
the families that faithfully patronise its services.
The day will be officially celebrated at the launch of the Global Forum on
Remittances and Development (GFRD) 2015, June 16-19 at the Stella Polare
Conference Centre in Milan, Italy. During these dates Ria will also have a booth
at the Remittance Marketplace on the ground floor.
"Ria exists thanks to the more than 240 million people that had the courage to
leave their home countries and their families to seek opportunities that would
give all of them a better future," says Ria's President and CEO Juan Bianchi.
"The inaugural International Day of Family Remittances is an initiative which
not only recognises the sacrifice of all the migrant workers - many of whom work
within Ria - but also their families, which benefit from these regular flows of
money. Worker Migration is not a vacation; it is sacrifice and hard work, with a
neat story behind each remittance that is sent. At Ria we could not be prouder
of being a small part in each of those stories. This day is also an opportunity
to reconfirm our company's commitment to the communities we serve through
providing our affordable services in over 246,000 locations worldwide," he adds.
Ria's Managing Director for EMEA & South Asia, Sebastian Plubins, who will
participate in a GFRD panel discussion on the topic of The Global and European
Remittance Markets, says, "With over $580 billion in remittances sent in 2014,
these private flows of money have the ability to impact many people's lives.
They are a source of stability not only for the families that receive them, but
for many developing economies, acting as a direct form of support when
challenges arise. They help to pay for education, medical expenses, and family
assistance and also act as direct investment.
"Our customers rely on the services we provide to deliver their remittances
safely each month, and we don't take our responsibilities lightly. This day is
an excellent initiative and we look forward to more bi-lateral discussions
between the private and public sectors about ways to improve the remittance
industry and to harness these flows for development," he concludes.
