Are you a Medellín resident receiving a pension from another country? Navigating international transfers can sometimes be a bit daunting, but fear not! Our team at MANA Apartments is here to guide you through the process.
1. Choose a Colombian Bank:
- Research options: Compare different Colombian banks to find one that offers convenient services, competitive exchange rates, and a reliable international transfer process.
- Consider location: If you have a local branch of your foreign bank in Medellín, it might simplify the transfer process.
2. Gather Required Information:
- Bank account details: Your Colombian bank account number, SWIFT code, and ABA number (if applicable).
- Pension provider information: Your pension provider’s name, address, and contact details.
- Currency: Determine the currency in which you’ll receive your pension.
3. Contact Your Pension Provider:
- Inquire about international transfers: Ask your pension provider if they offer international transfer services.
- Provide bank details: Share your Colombian bank account details with your pension provider.
- Discuss fees: Inquire about any fees associated with international transfers and how they will be charged.
4. Choose a Transfer Method:
- Electronic transfer: This is often the most convenient and efficient method. Your pension provider will transfer funds directly to your Colombian bank account.
- Check or wire transfer: If your pension provider doesn’t offer electronic transfers, you may need to receive a check or wire transfer and deposit it into your Colombian bank account.
5. Monitor the Transfer:
- Track progress: Keep an eye on your bank account to ensure the transfer has been completed successfully.
- Contact your bank or pension provider: If you have any concerns or if the transfer is delayed, don’t hesitate to contact your bank or pension provider for assistance.

Additional Tips:
- Consider a currency exchange service: If your pension is paid in a foreign currency, you may want to consider using a currency exchange service to convert it to Colombian pesos.
- Be aware of taxes: Ensure you’re aware of any taxes or fees that may be applicable to your pension income in Colombia.
- Consult with a financial advisor: If you have questions about the best way to manage your pension income in Colombia, consider consulting with a financial advisor.
