How money moves in Colombia
Currency
Transfers into Colombia land in Colombian peso (COP), so the exchange rate you lock in and the fees quoted up front are what decide how much actually arrives.
How transfers settle
ACH Colombia (CENIT) processes interbank transfers in batch cycles; Transfiya enables instant person-to-person transfers between banks and wallets using phone numbers. That matters for a transfer sent from Cartagena: a provider that delivers onto the local rail typically clears faster than a routed correspondent-bank wire.
Recipient details
There is no single national account-number standard; each bank assigns its own account number, and interbank transfers ask for the recipient's bank, account type, number, and name. Wallets such as Nequi and Daviplata use phone-number identifiers. Getting these recipient details exactly right is the difference between a same-day delivery and a bounced-back transfer.
Regulation
Payments in Colombia are overseen by the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia. Banks and fintech payment institutions (sociedades de pago) in Colombia must be authorised by the Superintendencia Financiera or the Banco de la República. Verify authorisation before holding funds with a provider.
