What is specific to Colombia
Three things change from country to country on a local rail: how the beneficiary is designated, the name matching rules, and the reporting framework.
The local landscape
Colombia receives pesos on Nequi, a wallet tied to a mobile number. It is the most accessible rail in the country: no classic bank account needed.
Details and name matching
The mobile number must be in international format and the wallet opened in the name of the declared cedula holder. Account tiers determine the balance cap: a payout exceeding it is refused by the wallet.
Reporting framework
Income from digital assets is reportable to the Colombian tax authority. We give no tax advice: your account exports every operation for your accountant.
Required details and validation rules
Every field is validated as you type, not at send time: an error is flagged immediately rather than as a rejection days later.
| Field | Required | Validation rule | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Numero Nequi | Yes | international format number, country code included · normalised to E.164 international format | International format. The account must be in your name. |
| Cedula number | Yes | 6 to 12 digits · digits only kept | — |
The trip, step by step
Each step has its own duration, and none is rounded in our favour.
Quote and lock
The net shows with the full breakdown, before any sign-up. The rate is frozen when the order is created.
Beneficiary details
You enter the Nequi details required in Colombia. Every format is checked immediately.
Deposit and confirmation
A dedicated address for your BTC, then about 20 min of confirmation on the fastest network.
Payout
The order goes out on Nequi as soon as the threshold is reached: about 5 minutes of settlement, then a downloadable receipt.
How Nequi actually works
The payout is pushed to the declared number and credits the wallet balance. Cash withdrawal or a transfer to a bank is a later step, handled by Nequi.
The wallet must be opened in the name of the declared cedula holder, and its balance cap can be lower than the amount you receive. Check your account tier before ordering a large amount.
A deposit sent with too low a fee can sit in the mempool for hours. The rate is locked when the order is created, so waiting does not change your amount as long as the deposit lands inside the announced window.

FAQ: Bitcoin to Nequi in Colombia
How long between sending my BTC and the money landing in Colombia?
About 25 min in total in the median case: the confirmation time of the network you pick, then about 5 minutes of settlement on Nequi. This rail also runs on weekends and holidays.
What is the minimum to sell Bitcoin to Nequi?
Two minimums apply at once: 0.0005 BTC on the deposit side, and COP 20,000.00 on the settlement side. The stricter of the two decides. The rail cap is COP 20,000,000 per operation.
What exactly do I pay on this corridor?
Three lines, shown separately before you confirm: the BTC network cost, taken in kind from your deposit; our spread, surcharged for asset volatility; and the rail fee, that is No rail fee. There is no fourth line, and the three sum to exactly the gap between the mid-market value and the net.
Which Nequi details do I provide in Colombia?
The mobile number must be in international format and the wallet opened in the name of the declared cedula holder. Account tiers determine the balance cap: a payout exceeding it is refused by the wallet.
What about tax in Colombia?
Income from digital assets is reportable to the Colombian tax authority. We give no tax advice: your account exports every operation for your accountant.
What if I send an amount different from the quote?
Nothing is lost. An underpayment triggers a recalculation at the locked rate, and you receive the amount matching what you actually sent. An overpayment is handled the same way on the excess. In both cases, if the result falls below the rail minimum of COP 20,000.00, we offer another payout method rather than freezing the funds.
