The Colombian government's requirements for first-time recipients

The Colombian government requires all first-time recipients to complete a Declaración de Pago in order to receive an international money transfer. 

This information confirms the identity of your recipient and allows them to receive international money transfers to their Colombian bank account.

How does my recipient complete the Declaración de Pago?

Your recipient should follow the steps below to complete the Declaración de Pago for their bank or provider.

Bancolombia

Your recipient needs to activiate Abono Automatico in order to receive international money transfers. Your recipient will need to complete this process to receive money to their bank account or mobile wallet.

Recipients should follow these steps to activate the service with Bancolombia:

2. Choose Transactions from the menu on the right

3. Click on People Virtual Branch

4. Enter your username and password

5. Choose Transfers followed by International from the menu at the top of the screen

6. Click Set Up Automatic Subscription to start the automatic subscription activation process

7. Click Next

8. Click Activate automatic payment

9. You will then see the Transaction  Confirmation  screen 

After registration, there may be a delay of up to 24 hours before the account is ready to receive international transfers.

If you're sending money to yourself, call 1-866-379-9714 to activate Abono Automatico.

Banco de Bogota:

• Banco de Bogota account holders should complete this form to receive an international money transfer for the first time.

Other banks:

Our partner, Banco W, makes payments to all other banks in Colombia.

Recipients can register online here to receive international money transfers. Banco W will send an SMS to your recipient to authorise the payment. 

Nequi mobile wallet:

• In order to receive international money transfers to a Nequi mobile wallet, first-time recipients must subscribe to automatic subscription through the order notification that they'll receive in the Notification Centre in their Nequi mobile wallet. Learn more.

DAVIPlata mobile wallet:

• First-time recipients of international transfers to their DAVIPlata wallet must visit a Davivienda branch to claim the transfer. Learn more.

Es dauert 0–3 Tage, bis Ihr Geld bei Xe ankommt, je nachdem, wie Sie Ihren Transfer bezahlen.  Sobald wir Ihr Geld erhalten haben, zahlen wir es an Ihren Empfänger aus. 

Von diesem Zeitpunkt an dauert es in der Regel 1–4 Werktage, bis das Geld eintrifft. Hierbei kann es je nach Bank des Empfängers zu Abweichungen kommen.

Wir werden Sie in jeder Phase Ihres Transfers benachrichtigen, damit Sie wissen, wo sich Ihr Geld befindet.
