If you support loved ones by sending money to Colombia, you’re not alone. A recent report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) shows that 4.7% of all Colombians live abroad—around 1.3 million people, in fact. Your remittances help communities from Bogota to Barranquilla to small villages. Unfortunately, high transfer fees and poor exchange rates can make sending money to Colombia expensive. That’s where Remitly comes in.
With Remitly, you can send to Colombian bank accounts, cash pickup locations, and now, to DaviPlata accounts.
Have you tried sending money to a DaviPlata mobile wallet? We make it easy. Remitly users can easily use our app to transfer money into a DaviPlata account from outside of Colombia.
