remittance business
TRANSCRIPT
Remittance Business
Our over six million expatriates are a source of pride for Bangladesh. They represent us abroad by building our image. They also spread the richness of our cultures across the globe. In that sense, they are the ambassadors of goodwill for Bangladesh. Their contribution is equally important, if not more, in the contribution they make to the economy of the country. The foreign exchange they send home is the second largest source of much needed foreign exchange for our economic development. In fact if we adjust import costs against export of the garments sector that overtly brings more foreign exchange to the national economy, remittance will figure as the single largest source of foreign exchange for Bangladesh. Nationalized and private banks are the principal agents for bringing remittance to the country.
Although Southeast Bank has entered into remittance late compared to the other private banks, it has continuously strived to build its remittance business around quality service by making it easy for remitters to remit money through a network of agreements with reputed banks and remittance houses abroad and an extensive network in the country to deliver the money to the beneficiaries at their door in the quickest possible time and without hassles.
We deliverer money to the beneficiaries without service charges. We assure confidentiality in transactions. Additional features of our one - stop remittance delivery service are:
Use of mobile and SMS to contact the beneficiary.
Home delivery of remittance business where necessary and possible.
Initiate Remittance Card Service for use in ATM booths.
Register data for later use for instant cash payment over the counters.
On line account credit to those who have accounts with branches of Southeast Bank.
Account credit services using on line facilities of other banks.
EFF/TT services.
Mail transfer (MT).
Assist in opening Wage Earner Accounts.
Assist in opening accounts under different types of savings schemes.
Provide anti money laundering advice.

2.RIA
The RIA money transfer is a form of electronically transferred funds to
other accounts and people. With the advent of the internet and the
technological boost around the world, electronically transferring funds
has also been hit with a boom. People all over the globe are networking
and communicating with each other. With the sharing of ideas, products
and services also comes the trading of money. One of the best ways to
transfer funds is using a money transfer or wire transfer.
The most commmon type of money transfer that people run into on a
daily basis are retail money transfers. Brands such as Western Union,
RIA Financial, MoneyGram, PayPal are all companies that provide retail
money transfers. They simply charge you a service fee and will send your
money to wherever need be, just like any other retailer would. These
money transfer rates can vary depending on which company you choose,
the amount you are transferring and to where you are transferring.
Rates are generally a case by case figure so you would need to contact a
company with your details to find out the rates.
Companies such as Western Union however, have taken some heat
because of the ease of money laundering and criminal activity with
money transfers. However this is not all their fault and is likely with the
type of business they are in. If you are using money transfers for
everyday normal purposes there is really no need to worry about this
association with illegal activity. Sending money for personal or business
purposes is what these companies thrive on and were meant for.
An RIA money transfer, specifically from the company RIA Financial, is
what we are going to be spending most of our time discussing. The great
thing about RIA is that you are able to send money internationally.
Perfect if you have family back home or in another country, conductinng
worldwide business and the likes. To initiate a money transfer through
this company you can either log on to their website or visit a physical
location where agents are located. These agents will guide you through
the process of sending money. The easiest option would be to transfer
money online by filling out a few online forms and providing the
necessary information.
RIA financial is great because they offer this service through the internet
as well in physical locations. A company with a physical as well as online
presence promotes their status as a sound and trusted company.
Once you initiate your transfer there are several things to do next. If you
are the person who sent the money you can check on the status either
online or by contacting one of these agents. It’s really simple to keep up
date and keep on eye on whats going on with your money. Something
everybody wants in a money transfer service. If you are the one receiving
money you will need proper forms of identification and can also contact
an agent or look online to see where the money being held in your name
is located. Once the transfer has taken place, and you show ID, the
money then can be all yours.
These are some of the basics to know about sending money
internationally, and using an RIA money transfer to do so. Hope this
helps you when the next time you need to wire money.

You can receive funds in three ways. 1) Cash pick up in 10,000 locations, 2) Delivery to your doorstep in qualified
locations, and 3) bank deposit
Transferring money is rather easy when using TransFast. You are limited to only a few states but they got most of the states. If you are from Arizona you can still sign up for the service. This is a little frustrating because when you get to the payment phase of the process they ask you to fill in your bank account information to setup your ACH payment. However certain states are missing from the list. I even gave them a 520 Area code while signing up to see if they would alert me that I was from a State that they don't allow. I was disappointed they let me register for the service even though I told them I was using an Arizona phone number.
From the list they have the major ones:
4 Easy Ways to Receive Money:• Cash pickup anywhere

• Home delivery
