Yes — Ria is a licensed money transfer operator regulated both in Albania and in the Philippines by the BSP. To stay safe, only share your reference number with the intended recipient back home, verify the recipient's full legal name matches their Philippine ID, and avoid sending money to people you haven't personally verified.
