$5,098.50 - Google Rate
$4,898.73 - WorldRemit Rat
$200 - the DIFFERENCE (what WP keeps)

That means WR (WorldRemit) keeps the difference: $200 COP
==============

Hi all,
This is my method I use to get USD-to-COP in Colombia: From Charles Schwab acct (U.S.) => WorldRemit => BANCOLOMBIA Savings Acct.

I am giving you this information so that maybe we ALL can learn something about this subject. I notice the QUESTIONS ON RATE don't stop and with good reason, $ is important to all of us.

I also notice CONFUSION on many. Some master these principles and could dictate classes on the subject, but not the majority I am sure.

I FOR INSTANCE...I use this method (US BANK - WorldRemit - BANCOLOMBIA savings account; and I get the funds ($4,898.50/dollar) in my BANCOLOMBIA acct immediately (because the system knows me) so I don't have to wait even a minute, and that is great but I don't know if it is the BEST METHOD..

I I hope you guys can tell me how good/bad my method is. because I do wonder how come not everyone uses it too?

Maybe we should list the RATE and where you got it from (i.e from Colpatria). I hear a lot about this bank as well, I used to use it too
to used to get my COPs from them. BUT WHY NOT USE MY METHOD?... Has anyone gotten a HIGHER amount?

Look forward to your methods and RATES!
