🇨🇴 About Sending Money to Colombia
Colombia is one of Latin America’s largest remittance recipients, with the United States sending the majority of that money — a scale that shapes which payout methods providers prioritize on this corridor.
Did you know?
Colombia received an estimated $11.85 billion in remittances in 2024 — equal to about 2.3% of GDP and the country’s second-largest source of foreign currency after oil, exceeding coffee export revenue more than threefold, according to Banco de la República (Colombia’s central bank).
The United States is the dominant source of Colombia’s remittances, accounting for roughly 53% of inflows — more than double the next-largest sending country — reflecting the size of the Colombian community living and working in the US.
Colombia’s 4×1000 financial transactions tax can apply to remittances deposited into a bank account once the monthly total passes roughly 350 UVT (an inflation-adjusted threshold, around $16.5 million COP in 2024) — a real factor recipients sometimes weigh when choosing between bank deposit and other payout methods.
