When characters first arrive, they are given the equivalent of a month's salary, along with a free month's rent in Community Housing. The basic unit of currency is called a Unit, and the smallest denomination is a Quarter-Unit.
For simplicity's sake, I don't want to delve too deeply into conversion rates because those can vary so much depending on where people live in the real world, and I'm not an economic expert. The economy in Riverview is generally pretty good, so people can generally live comfortably on what they earn, but have to work a little harder for luxuries.
I'll add the info about the initial stipend to the Arrival page, thank you for pointing this out!
