Airwallex

Bancolombia

Bancolombia suits people banking in Colombia who want everyday access without a monthly charge, and its savings rate sits well below the 3% across savings accounts here. The catch is that a monthly charge can still apply, and the rate is variable, so income can move under you.

  • A variable rate of 2.18% to 3.83% with a minimum deposit of HKD 0
  • Exchange rate margins of 0.5% to 1% sit under the 2.08% upper quartile for money services here

Cons

  • A monthly fee of HKD 2,499 sits well above the €449 highest fee among the business accounts compared
  • Support runs on email and help centre only
  • The rate is variable, so the return can move rather than being locked in for a term

Bancolombia

Pros

  • Access terms let you move money from COP 0 and withdraw at ATMs and banking correspondents
  • Most accounts carry no monthly charge, and the common monthly fee across the site is €0
  • Support runs on phone, help centre and email, so phone, help centre, email and a community forum are all available

Who each suits

Airwallex

Who it suits

  • Businesses that keep spare cash in a easy access account and want a return without a lock-up
  • Companies paying and collecting across borders, with from 20 currencies supported and margins of 0.5% to 1%

Who should look elsewhere

  • Not for anyone after a card balance rate: AXI Card Tarjeta y Credito lists 21.59% and Plazo ES lists 24.19%, far above the 2.18% to 3.83% on business cash here
  • Not for a consumer wallet: PayPal Colombia lists 3.3%, while this account is built for business customers with a HKD 2,499 monthly fee

Bancolombia

Who it suits

  • Colombian households paying day to day and paying in cash often
  • People who bank mainly locally rather than holding many currencies
  • Anyone receiving money from abroad, since remittances carry no fee

Who should look elsewhere

  • Savers chasing the top rate, since a variable 0.05% trails the 3% site median
  • People holding many currencies, because transfers cover 9
  • Anyone who wants a guaranteed rate, since the savings rate is variable
