Send money to Colombia from Chile

Sending money from Chile to Colombia is simple with Ria. Transfers can be made online via our website, through our mobile app, or in person at a Ria location in Chile. Your recipient in Colombia can receive funds to their bank, mobile wallet, or for cash pickup at participating locations.

The delivery time depends on the payment and delivery methods. Card-funded transfers and mobile wallet transfers often arrive within minutes. Bank transfers to Colombian accounts typically take 3–5 business days. Times may also vary due to local business hours, holidays, and security checks.

Costs depend on several factors, including the payment method, delivery method, transfer amount, and the CLP-to-COP exchange rate at the time of transfer. Bank transfers are usually the most cost-effective; card-funded transfers are faster but may include higher fees. Ria works with partners to keep fees low and offer competitive exchange rates.

Ria’s Track a Transfer tool provides real-time updates. Enter the unique transaction PIN to see its status. Tracking is available on the Ria website and mobile app. You'll get email or app notifications when funds are deposited, credited to a wallet, or ready for pickup. 

The best option depends on your priorities: 
• Speed: Mobile wallet transfers (typically in minutes)
• Value: Bank transfers (usually 3–5 business days)
• Convenience: Cash pickup at our many partner locations in Colombia

Digital transfers with trusted service providers like Ria are often the most secure method to send money from Chile to Colombia. They avoid carrying cash and provide layered protections such as encryption, identity verification, optional two-factor authentication, and real-time tracking. Senders should also confirm recipient name/ID details, keep the PIN private, and use trusted networks.

Sign up easily on the Ria website or mobile app. Provide a valid ID, email, phone number, and payment details. Once registered, start a transfer immediately from the app, website, or in person at a Ria location.

You will need:

• Recipient’s full legal name (matching ID)
• Recipient’s bank or wallet details
• Their city and department in Colombia
• Transfer amount in COP
• Your payment information (Fintoc, Sencillito, cash, or local method)

Recipients can receive funds via:

• Cash pickup at partner locations like Bancolombia, Davivienda, Banco W, Éxito, 4-72
• Bank deposit to our Colombian bank partners like Bancolombia, Davivienda, Banco de Bogotá, and many more
• Mobile wallet with Nequi, DaviPlata, Movii, or Bancolombia

In Chile, you can pay for transfers using Fintoc, Sencillito, or cash when sending money through the Ria app or website. At select in-person Ria locations, card payments may also be available depending on the store.

Each method is secure and processed through Ria’s encrypted system, ensuring your money reaches Colombia quickly and safely.

Provide the recipient’s full legal name, the bank name (e.g., Bancolombia, Davivienda, Banco de Bogotá), and the recipient’s account number or IBAN. Ria will process and deposit the funds securely into the recipient’s Colombian account.
