Ria Money Transfer and Currency Exchange

About us

“Buying currency at your destination is also a good option for many travellers if they cannot purchase it beforehand. Just be sure to avoid the airport kiosks, as their exchange rates are often less favourable and their fees are often the highest,” she explains.

Ria is a leading global money transfer company, with 30 years’ experience and a large network in around 150 countries. In 2019, the company opened a store in Tromsø, which is Ria’s northernmost store in Europe. The Ria store in Tromsø currently allows customers to exchange more than 40 global currencies into Norwegian kroner.

“We’re easy to find in Tromsø. Our store is located on the main street, close to good transport links and the famous Tromsø Cathedral, one of Norway’s largest wooden churches and the world’s northernmost Protestant cathedral. Tromsø is also famous for the aurora borealis, which can be seen from October to February,” says the Marketing Manager.

“Ria aims to offer competitive exchange rates in the city every day. We also offer special rates for larger amounts, and if customers have any currency left after their holiday, we will buy it back without commission,” she affirms.
