There are several options for safely sending money to a friend or family member in the Dominican Republic. The best method for you, however, depends on several factors like speed, location, payment methods, and payout forms.

Here are some popular ways to send money to The Dominican Republic:

• International bank transfer: Arrange for your bank to send the funds directly to your recipient's checking or savings account. For this money transfer method, both you and your recipient must have bank accounts. You may also need to know your recipient's contact information — exactly as it appears in their account — as well as their international bank account number (IBAN) and their bank's SWIFT code. This transfer method can take a few business days, making it a less-than-perfect option if your friend in the Dominican Republic needs the money quickly.

• International money order: Mail a pre-paid international money order to your friends and family in the Dominican Republic. Your recipient can then exchange it for Dominican Republic pesos. However, this is also not the fastest option — they call it "snail mail" for a reason!

• Money transfer agents: Use a third-party service to initiate a money transfer to the Dominican Republic. This can be a quicker solution, but fees can be steep, and exchange rates may vary.

• Ria: Ria's app, website, and thousands of participating locations make it safe, easy, and convenient to send a Dominican Republic remittance. You can also send money to a list of more than 165 other countries around the globe. Ria always offers great exchange rates and has no hidden fees — you'll know exactly how much your friend will receive before you click "Send." In addition, the recipient can collect their funds directly in their bank account, in person at a Ria location near them, or through convenient home delivery. Best of all, Ria money transfers to the Dominican Republic can arrive in a matter of minutes, depending on the payment and payout methods.

How do I send money to The Dominican Republic?

It can take anywhere from a few minutes to five business days to send money to an overseas location — including The Dominican Republic. However, how long it takes depends on several factors, such as:

1.     Transaction type

3.     Where you’re sending money from

4.     Whether Ria requires additional information for security purposes

5.     When you initiate the transfer

Some currencies or transfer methods are only available during local business hours. If you set up a The Dominican Republic remittance outside of typical business hours, on a holiday, or on the weekend, you could experience delays.

If you’re looking for the fastest way to send money to The Dominican Republic, you may want to use a debit or credit card for your transaction. These methods may incur additional fees, so be aware of that. However, they also typically finalize the same day they’re completed — sometimes within minutes -meaning your recipient could have the money almost immediately.

And if time isn’t a concern, consider setting up a bank transfer instead. This option usually takes three to five business days and comes with fewer fees.

How long does it take to send money to The Dominican Republic?

The cost of sending money to The Dominican Republic depends on several key factors, such as:

1. The payment method you use

2. The payout method (that is, the way your intended recipient gets the money)

4. Currency exchange rates

Bank remittances are usually the cheapest option, while credit and debit card transfers can come with additional fees. This is especially true with credit card payments, as some credit card companies will charge extra. Keep in mind, though, that international money transfers usually come with certain charges — regardless of how you go about it.

As an international remittance service, Ria strives to keep our rates and fees as low as possible on money transfers to The Dominican Republic and other countries. We do that by working with financial institutions worldwide to get you the lowest possible fees and best exchange rates. At times, we also have promo codes to cut down on some of the more unavoidable fees.

The overall transfer amount includes all fees. If you want to see the cost of sending money to The Dominican Republic, here are your options:

1. Before you complete the transfer (but after you’ve logged into your account): You can see what it costs to send money to The Dominican Republic via the app or website. Simply log into your account and go to “Send” or “Send Money.” Then, select your destination country, how much you want to send, your payout currency, and your payment and delivery methods.

2. Before you initiate a transfer (without logging in): You can go to Ria’s website for an estimate of what it will cost.

Both options can help prevent you from being surprised by any fees or charges associated with sending money overseas.

How much does it cost to send money to The Dominican Republic?

We offer several ways to track your money transfer to The Dominican Republic, but the easiest option is to use our Track a Transfer tool, which provides real-time updates of your transfer — no matter where you are.

Here’s how to use this free online feature:

1. After logging into your Ria account: Once logged in, choose “Track” (from the app) or “Track a transfer” (from the website). Then, input the transfer’s unique personal identification number (PIN) to see its status.

2. Without logging into your Ria account: If you don’t have a Ria account, you can still use the Track a Transfer feature. You’ll still need the unique PIN, however. This enables both the sender and recipient to see the transfer status at any point.

Two things are worth noting.

1. If you reside in Australia, you must also provide your birth date and recipient’s country (The Dominican Republic) to track the transfer.

2. As the sender, you’ll also receive emailed updates regarding the transfer’s status and any major changes.

How can I track my transfer to The Dominican Republic?

There are several ways to send money to The Dominican Republic safely and efficiently. Which method is the best for you is a personal decision — it all comes down to how fast you need the The Dominican Republic money transfer to arrive, how you want your friends and family to receive it, and how you want to pay.

Bank transfers: You can use your bank to transfer money to a bank in The Dominican Republic through an international wire transfer. With this method, there’s no cash involved — you simply instruct your bank to send money to your recipient’s bank account. 

To complete a wire transfer through your bank, you usually must provide your recipient’s name, address, contact information, and banking information. This includes their international bank account number (IBAN) and their bank’s SWIFT/BIC code. 

There are several drawbacks to using a bank transfer to send money to The Dominican Republic. For one, both you and your recipient need to have bank accounts at institutions that allow international transfers. 

For another, they’re typically expensive. Some banks charge as much as $50 for the convenience of an international wire transfer to the sender. And a few charge a fee to the recipient as well. In addition, your bank may limit the amount of money you can send through this method.

Money transfer agents: Traditional money transfer agents allow customers to send money abroad using cash. These agents usually have offices you can visit to fund the transfer with cash. Your recipient can then visit the transfer agent’s office closest to them and receive the money as cash. 

Of course, one of the main drawbacks of using this method for sending money is that your recipient must live near a transfer agent’s office. Another is the fact that these agents sometimes have complicated pricing structures, and fees and exchange rates can vary widely.

Money orders: Sending an international money order is similar to sending a check through the mail. You can buy a pre-paid money order certificate from your local post office or bank and then send it directly to your recipient via international mail. They can then redeem the certificate for cash.

There are several big disadvantages to this money-sending method, mainly that it’s expensive and slow. 

Online money transfer services: Online money transfer services such as Ria make it easy to send money to The Dominican Republic and more than 165 other countries around the globe. Ria charges no sneaky hidden fees, so your The Dominican Republic remittance will go further. 

Ria also offers great exchange rates and allows you to send money through our convenient mobile app or any of the 500,000-plus participating locations. Ria offers a quick alternative to other money-sending methods. Many transfers arrive within minutes. Send money with Ria now.

How do I sign up for Ria so I can send money to The Dominican Republic?

If you're sending money to a recipient in the Dominican Republic via an international wire transfer (through your bank or a transfer agent), you'll typically need to know their bank account information, including their international bank account number (IBAN) and their bank's SWIFT code. International money orders require less information — you'll need to know your recipient's mailing address in the Dominican Republic. 

To make a safe and convenient Dominican Republic money transfer with Ria, you'll need the following information:

• The first and last name of your recipient (exactly as they appear on your recipient's government-issued photo ID)

• Your recipient's location in the Dominican Republic

• The amount you want to send for your Dominican Republic remittance

• Your payment information (e.g., your bank account, cash, credit card, debit card)

• Your recipient's payout method (e.g., their bank account, cash pickup, home delivery)

Depending on the funding and payout methods, you may be asked to include extra information, such as bank information and phone numbers.

What information will I need to send money to the Dominican Republic?

If you’re in the USA or Canada, you can set up a The Dominican Republic money transfer from the Ria app or website. Start by signing into your existing account or create a new one if you don’t have one. If you haven’t verified your phone number or set up your online profile yet, you can do that now.

Since this is your first money transfer to The Dominican Republic, you’ll need to add a new recipient to your account — that is, the person who will receive money in The Dominican Republic. Adding a recipient is easy. Just provide basic information about them, such as their name, current location, and phone number. If you want to transfer money to their bank, input their bank account details as well.

Once you’ve added a recipient to your account, you can decide how much money to send them — either in your currency or theirs. At this point, you can also select the payout method. Remember, each payout method comes with its own advantages and fees.

With that done, simply choose your payment method for the Dominican Republic remittance. You can add a new payment method to your account on the website or the app.

Once you’ve completed that first transfer, the process becomes even easier as your recipient’s basic information is saved to your account. Ria doesn’t store your recipient’s bank account information, however, so you will need to input that again.

How do I set up my first money transfer from the USA to The Dominican Republic?

Some money transfers go through within minutes of setting them up. However, you might have to wait a few hours or days before your transfer is complete.

That’s where tracking your transfer comes into play. You can use the Track a Transfer feature for status updates on your The Dominican Republic remittance. You’ll just need the PIN, which you can find in your account or the confirmation email you received after scheduling the transfer. Your recipient can also use this tool.

A standard money transfer to The Dominican Republic doesn’t take very long to complete, though it depends on the payment and payout methods. If you’ve chosen a debit or credit card transfer, your recipient should receive money in The Dominican Republic within minutes. A bank transfer, on the other hand, can take several business days to complete.

Certain factors may delay your transfer. For example, if you set up the transfer outside local business hours or on a holiday or weekend, it might take a little longer. In some cases, Ria will also request additional information from you for security purposes, which could cause additional delays.

What happens after I send my money transfer to The Dominican Republic?

Senders and recipients can use Ria’s Track a Transfer feature for real-time transfer updates. All you need is the transfer’s PIN and order number.

Senders can also use the Ria app to track the transaction — just tap the “Track” option. In addition, senders will be notified by email when their recipient has picked up or received the money — or if there’s another major status change.

How do I view my transfer status when sending money from the US to The Dominican Republic?

Ria has three easy options to receive money in the Dominican Republic:

• Cash pickup at a convenient participating location near you

• Direct deposit in your checking or savings account

• Convenient home delivery, provided it's available in your area 

Depending on which payout method you choose, you'll need to make sure your sender knows important details about your address or bank account. And if you're receiving the money in person (whether at a cash pickup location or at home), you'll need to make sure you have your government-issued photo ID and the tracking PIN.

How can I receive money in the Dominican Republic?

Your payment options vary depending on whether you're using the website or sending money through Ria's convenient app. They also depend on where you reside.

Senders in the U.S. can use:

• Credit or debit card (with the Ria website or app)

• Linked bank account (with the Ria website or app)

• Cash (with the Ria website or app)

Payment methods for users outside of the U.S. are as follows:

• Canada: Credit or debit card (with the Ria website or app)

• United Kingdom: Credit or debit card (with the Ria website or app)

• Spain: Credit or debit card (with the Ria website or app)

• Rest of Europe: Credit or debit card (with the Ria app)

• Australia: Credit or Debit card (with the Ria website or app)

Depending on where you live, you may have other options, too. Here's a complete rundown of payment methods.

Which payment methods can I use to pay for my money transfer to the Dominican Republic?

Unfortunately, you can't use Zelle to send money to The Dominican Republic.

That's because Zelle currently works only with bank accounts based in the U.S. There's no way to make a money transfer to an international account. Both the recipient and the sender must have U.S.-based checking or savings accounts — as well as U.S. phone numbers.

Instead, consider using an online money transfer service like Ria. Ria is quick, safe, and convenient. We offer great exchange rates, low fees (with no hidden charges), and a variety of payment and pickup options — all from our website or mobile app.

Does Zelle work to send money to The Dominican Republic from the U.S.?

Currently, you can't use Venmo to send money to The Dominican Republic. That's because only U.S. residents can use the app to send or receive money transfers.

Ria makes sending money internationally simple, quick, and secure. Your recipient in The Dominican Republic could get the money transfer in as little as 15 minutes if you use Ria.

How can I send money to a bank account in The Dominican Republic?

Hands down, sending money via electronic transfer is the safest way to send money to The Dominican Republic.

In the old days, it was common for people to send remittances by mailing cash. Not only does this method take a long time (they call it “snail mail” for a good reason), but it’s also just not safe. The mailed money could get stolen or lost at any point during its long journey.

Instead, using an online money transfer service like Ria ensures that your money gets exactly where you intend it to go. 

In addition, Ria’s team of world-class security experts works around the clock to monitor your money transfers and keep a watchful eye out for unusual behavior. Ria’s software allows the team to spot any suspicious activity long before any harm can be done to your account.

Plus, Ria never stores your payment details on its servers. So, your credit or debit card or bank account information will never be compromised in Ria’s system.

Your safety is Ria’s number one priority when sending money to The Dominican Republic.

What is the safest way to send money to The Dominican Republic?

There are several ways to securely send money to a friend in the Dominican Republic. 

For one, you can arrange for an international bank transfer to take money out of your account and put it directly into your recipient's account. However, there are a few disadvantages to this method: Both you and your recipient must have bank accounts for it to work. It also can take a few business days, making this not a great option if your friend in the Dominican Republic needs the money quickly. It may also involve steep fees, depending on the banks.

Another option is to initiate an international money order. This method involves purchasing a money order and mailing it to your recipient, who can then exchange it for Dominican Republic pesos. But this option can take a long time, depending on which mailing method you use.

A third option is to use a traditional money transfer agent. However, you might not get the best exchange rate with this method, besides the potentially steep fees.

For a more cost-effective, safe, and efficient transfer, consider Ria Money Transfer. You can use the Ria app or website to send funds from the comfort of your own home, or you can visit one of the thousands of Ria locations worldwide.

Here's a handy walkthrough to help you get started with your Dominican Republic money transfer using the app or website:

1. Create a Ria account. It's free and easy to set up an account. You'll need to provide Ria with your name, date of birth, and contact information. Depending on your current country of residence, you may need to supply additional information, too. We've provided easy-to-follow instructions for signing up with the app or on our website.

2. Get started with the transfer: On the app or website, click the "Send" or "Send money" button. Select "Dominican Republic" from the list of available countries. Enter the amount that you wish to send for your money transfer to the Dominican Republic. Ria makes it easy to see exactly how many Dominican Republic pesos (DOP) your recipient will get by being upfront with our exchange rates and fees.

3. Select how you want to fund your Dominican Republic money transfer. Depending on your location, you can send money through a linked bank account, with a credit or debit card, or by taking cash to a participating store. Depending on your location and whether you're using the app or website, you may have other options.

4. Select how you want your recipient to receive money in the Dominican Republic. They can pick up cash at a location near them, receive the funds directly in their bank checking or savings account, or opt for convenient home delivery. Then, click the "Continue" button.

5. Create a recipient. If you've never sent money to your friend or family member in the Dominican Republic before, you'll have to add them to your recipient list. To do this, you'll need to enter their full names (as they appear on their government-issued photo ID) and the city and province in which they live. 

6. Add payout details: Enter the required information for your chosen delivery method (select a pickup location convenient to your recipient, enter their bank details, or supply their delivery address).
