Global money transfer platform with 580,000+ agent locations across 200 territories
Ria Money Transfer operates a distributed remittance and currency-exchange network serving millions of customers through a vast agent network. The tech stack reveals a classic fintech modernization pattern: enterprise .NET/SQL Server backbone (SQL Server, C#, .NET Framework) paired with modern frontend tooling (Angular, React, Vue, TypeScript) and adopting AI-assisted development (Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor). Hiring accelerates across sales (109 roles) and engineering (68), signaling expansion of both agent-partner onboarding and product capabilities—while pain points around AML compliance, legacy modernization, and ML pipeline scaling suggest engineering is bottlenecked by regulatory complexity.
