Tips for sending money from United States to Colombia
- 1
Compare the margin on the exchange rate, not just the stated fees: that is where most of the cost sits. On the corridors we record, the best bank ranges from 0.6% to 5.2% of the amount sent — sometimes cheaper than a specialist, sometimes not.
- 2
Avoid sending at weekends: exchange rates are less favourable. Prefer business days for your transfers.
