🇨🇦🇨🇴 About Sending Money to Colombia
Canada’s Colombian community has grown substantially in recent years, with major concentrations in Ontario and Quebec. Colombia’s digital payments ecosystem is led by two major mobile wallets, Nequi and Daviplata, both tied to major Colombian banks, which shapes how many providers on this page choose to deliver funds.
Did you know?
Nequi, run by Bancolombia, and Daviplata, run by Davivienda, are Colombia’s two leading mobile wallets — combined they reach tens of millions of users, but not every provider compared above delivers to both, or either.
Wise, one of the most widely used providers on this site, can only deliver to a Bancolombia account for this corridor — it does not currently support direct Nequi or Daviplata payouts, a real limitation worth knowing before choosing a provider.
Grupo Éxito, one of Colombia’s largest retail chains, doubles as a cash pickup network for at least one provider compared above.

Methodology
Remit Architect compares providers using a standardized $100 CAD transfer benchmark from a Canadian bank account to a recipient account in Kenya. Rates, fees, and payout methods are verified directly against each provider’s own website or app rather than assumed, and this comparison is current as of August 19, 2026. Payout methods are corridor-specific — a provider’s Kenya options may differ from its options for other destinations or sender countries.
