Do I need a SWIFT code to send money to Colombia?

Yes. An international payment to a bank in Colombia needs the bank’s SWIFT/BIC code together with the beneficiary’s account number.

The bank has several codes. Which one do I use?

Use the code the beneficiary gave you. If you only know the bank, the head-office code (8 characters, or 11 ending in XXX) is accepted for international payments.

Does Colombia use IBAN?
