Scope of the report:
- To further promote electronic payments, instant payments were introduced in Colombia. In the last quarter of 2019, open banking solutions provider Minka partnered with ACH Colombia to launch Transfiya. Transfiya is a blockchain-based instant payment solution that enables Colombians to transfer money in seconds using the recipient's mobile phone number, via the sender's mobile banking app or internet banking platform. The solution - which is offered by nine financial institutions - operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, with a daily transfer limit of COP250,000 ($76.19). As of early August 2020 the service had recorded 458,000 transactions worth COP47bn ($14.32m) since launch.
- There is a growing preference for digital banking in Latin American markets, including Colombia. In January 2020, Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia approved the launch of digital bank Lulo. The bank is owned by Gilex Holdings Group, and was expected to launch in June 2020. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic the launch has been postponed. Previously, in March 2016 Bancolombia introduced its digital-only bank Nequi. Using the bank's app, consumers are offered a debit card and can conduct basic financial tasks including fund transfers, cash withdrawals at ATMs, and QR code-based in-store payments. As of May 2019 the bank had over 1 million users.
- The rising adoption of contactless payments during the review period drove overall card payments. To capitalize on this, banks such as Bancolombia, Banco de Bogota, and BBVA all offer contactless cards. According to a survey conducted by Visa in April 2020, contactless payment volume increased by over 20% in April compared to the previous month. To further boost contactless payments, banks are offering contactless stickers. In February 2019, Bancolombia launched a payment sticker allowing users to make contactless payments of up to COP100,000 ($30.48) without needing to enter a PIN.
