What your recipient receives
Money sent to Colombia arrives in Colombian Peso. The quote you approve shows exactly what your recipient receives in COP, after the rate and any fee.
How the money is paid out
In Colombia, payout is supported through Bank transfer. Which options appear depends on your recipient and their account.
What it costs
There is no fixed price to print here honestly: rates move continuously and fees can vary by funding method. What matters is that the full cost is shown before you confirm, every time.
Before your first transfer
You will need a Paysavo account and the verification steps that apply to you. Have your recipient's payout details ready — the exact fields depend on the payout method they use.

Questions

It depends on the corridor, the funding method and the payout method, so this guide does not promise a number. Your transfer's status is visible in your account from the moment you send it.
What is the lowest-cost way to send money to Colombia?
Compare quotes for the funding methods available to you — the quote shows the full cost of each choice before you commit. No single method always costs least, and this guide will not pretend otherwise.

Payout methods like Bank transfer pay your recipient directly, where supported for them.
