Ria Money Transfer & Currency Exchange — Rue de Hollande
Currency exchange and international transfers on Marigot's main commercial strip.
Why Go
Navigating two currencies on one island is part of the St. Martin experience — euros on the French side, US dollars on the Dutch side, and the occasional moment where you need cash in one denomination but only have the other. Ria Money Transfer on Rue de Hollande in Marigot handles exactly this friction point, providing currency exchange and international money transfer services in the heart of the French-side capital's commercial district.
The Experience
The Rue de Hollande location sits within Marigot's busiest shopping and services corridor, making it a practical stop during errands or a market visit. Ria is a global money transfer network with thousands of locations worldwide, and this Marigot branch connects the island's residents and visitors to that network. Whether you need to exchange US dollars for euros before shopping at the Marigot Market, send money to family across the Caribbean, or receive an international transfer, the service covers the basics efficiently. The storefront format means you walk in, complete your transaction, and walk out — no appointment needed. For visitors arriving from the Dutch side, having a currency exchange option in Marigot means you do not have to rely solely on card payments or unfavorable hotel exchange rates when exploring the French side.
What to Try
If you are exchanging currency, compare the posted rates with ATM withdrawal rates to ensure you are getting a fair deal. For international transfers, bring valid ID and the recipient's details ready to speed up the process.
Insider Tip
Marigot Market days (Wednesday and Saturday mornings) are the busiest times in this area — plan your exchange visit accordingly. Many French-side vendors at the market prefer cash in euros, so exchanging before your market visit saves hassle.
