Deposits and withdrawals in Colombian pesos

These are the methods available in Colombia, their costs and how long they take. None carries a fee from Aurora Capital.

Try to use the same method to deposit and to withdraw: funds then go back the way they came and checks are quicker. Your bank, wallet or provider may add charges of its own that we do not control, and the maximum amounts for Nequi, Daviplata and cards are set by each issuer.

All payments must come from an account in your own name.

Withdrawal methods

Timelines run from approval of the withdrawal, which happens after identity checks.

Tips for a smooth payment

Account in your name

Payments from third-party accounts are rejected under anti-money-laundering rules.

Confirm in your app

With PSE, Nequi and Daviplata the payment stays pending until you approve the notification. Do not close the window before that.

Check your limits

If the amount is over your wallet or card daily limit, split the deposit or ask your bank to raise the cap.
