All corridors
Corridor intelligence for B2B operators moving capital between USD and Colombia. Reference FX, settlement timing, compliance requirements, and execution context — not a currency converter.
Correspondent banking on USD/COP typically takes 1–3 business days. Through Xenta, qualified B2B operators settle in minutes after KYB and compliance review. Banking cutoffs, holidays, and counterparty verification can affect timing.
The TRM (Tasa Representativa del Mercado) is published daily by the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia. It reflects the previous day's interbank weighted average — a reference, not an executable rate for settlement.
COP settlement routes through Colombian banking networks (ACH Colombia, Transfiya, direct bank credit) or stablecoin-to-COP conversion where regulators permit. Route affects speed, cost, and documentation requirements.
USD/COP business payments require UIAF reporting, SAGRILAFT compliance, KYB verification, transaction purpose declaration, and source-of-funds documentation. Xenta operates through UIAF-registered workflows.

|---|---|---|

| Treasury conversion | Corporate treasury moves USD reserves into COP working capital for Colombian operations. | $100K–$2M |
| Fintech payout | US-based fintech settles COP payouts to Colombian end-users via Xenta as the infrastructure layer. | $50K–$500K |

The official USD/COP reference rate is the TRM (Tasa Representativa del Mercado), published daily by Colombia's Superintendencia Financiera. Business payment rates differ from this benchmark due to spread, settlement timing, payout route, compliance review, and liquidity availability. Xenta provides executable quotes on request — the TRM is a reference, not a tradeable rate.
Through traditional correspondent banking, USD to COP settlement typically takes 1–3 business days. Through Xenta's infrastructure, settlement on the USD/COP corridor can complete in minutes for qualified B2B operators with completed KYB and compliance review.
Typical documentation includes commercial invoice, beneficiary bank details, KYB (Know Your Business) profile, transaction purpose declaration, source of funds documentation, and supporting trade documents. Colombian NIT and US EIN are typically required for the respective entities. Requirements vary by transaction size, use case, and regulatory classification.
No. The TRM is a daily benchmark reflecting the previous day's interbank market. An executable quote from Xenta includes spread, settlement cost, payout route, compliance review, and real-time liquidity — valid for a specific amount, direction, and time window.
UIAF (Unidad de Información y Análisis Financiero) is Colombia's financial intelligence unit. Registration means the operator reports suspicious transactions and complies with Colombian AML/CFT regulations under the SAGRILAFT framework. Xenta operates through UIAF-registered workflows for USD/COP corridor activity.
Yes — Xenta serves qualified individuals after completing KYC verification, with a minimum transaction size of $10,000 USD. Primarily built for B2B operators but individual high-value transfers are supported.
