Colombian peso rate today
The accepted currency in Cúcuta and across Colombia is the Colombian peso.
However, when you visit a currency exchange, you'll find that they use currency codes. Specifically, the currency code for the Colombian peso is COP. Keep an eye out for this code if you're comparing exchange rates.
What you should know about exchanging money in Cúcuta
When exchanging money in Cúcuta or any foreign city, it's important to be aware how to get the best deals and avoid excessive charges and hidden fees. If you are planning on staying in Colombia long-term or looking to make a larger investment you could consider opening a local bank account. Otherwise, use the tips below to help avoid getting overcharged.
1. Be wary of 'zero fee' services
Some services claiming 'no commission' often offer poor exchange rates. These may not reflect the mid-market rate, similar to what you'd see when checking the rate on Google. This can lead to higher costs for you and more profits for them.
2. Research the exchange rate
Check what the current exchange rate is so it's easier to spot a bad deal from currency exchanges.
3. Avoid exchanging money at airports or hotels
It may be highly convenient, but airports and hotels will almost always offer poor rates and high transaction fees. Avoid this where possible.
4. Use ATMs strategically
Check if your local bank has partnerships in Colombia banks to avoid unwanted ATM fees. It's becoming less of a requirement, but it can be good to inform your bank before traveling too.
5. Pick local currency on ATMs and card payments
When using an ATM abroad, choose to be charged in Colombian pesos for a fairer rate and fees. The same applies if you get the option on card machines.
