Depending on the company, you may be able pay with PSE or Bre-B from your bank, the same way you pay for anything online.

Make sure to only use a regulated service by the Superintendencia Financiera, and never use informal methods just because they offer a better COP/NGN rate.

Consider this when sending COP to Nigeria

Sending money out of Colombia is less straightforward than receiving it. Compare the small number of outbound options, then account for the 4x1000 and any documents needed for the payment.

Compare COP/NGN transfer options

For a COP 936,800 transfer to Nigeria, these are the best options:

Cheapest way to send money to Nigeria

The cheapest option is ₦389,886.91, funded by debit card with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 389,886.91 NGN, which is 0.79% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Nigeria

The fastest option is Revolut. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit in Nigeria. Your recipient gets 386,792.38 NGN, with the money available in within minutes.

0.4% transaction tax

The bank debit used to fund a transfer can also attract Colombia's “4x1000”, a 0.4% financial transaction tax.

Exemptions depend on the account and the total movements covered by the exemption, so check the debit on your own account before comparing the final cost.

Required documents

Most personal and family payments can be handled as free-market transactions.

Payments tied to imports, foreign investment, external debt and other operations that must pass through the foreign-exchange market need to be channelled through an Intermediario del Mercado Cambiario or a registered compensation account.

In practice, the bank or transfer company will ask for your ID, the payment purpose and proof of where the money came from when needed.

For tuition, property or an investment, have the invoice or agreement ready before starting.

The Banco de la República explains which transactions must be channelled through the formal foreign-exchange market.

PSE and Bre-B only fund the Colombian side

PSE and Bre-B only work inside Colombia.

Some remittance companies will let you use it as a funding method, but you can’t use either as a direct way to send money to Nigeria.
