Nequi runs Nequi Negocios, DaviPlata offers its Mi Negocio service, and Lulo Bank and Nu Colombia run fully digital accounts. They suit collection and everyday flows, with a narrower product range than a full bank.

Digital providers and neobanks in Colombia

Colombia has a large and competitive digital finance sector. As of 26 March 2026, several providers offer accounts that open online, often with no maintenance fee, and a mobile first experience. Nequi, part of the Bancolombia group, runs Nequi Negocios, which turns a smartphone into a way to take card payments and share payment links. DaviPlata, part of Davivienda, serves small businesses and the self employed through its Mi Negocio service. Lulo Bank is a fully digital bank that has grown its business lending and deposits. Nu Colombia, the local arm of Nubank, offers digital accounts with streamlined onboarding. Availability of specific business features varies, so confirm what each one offers for a registered company.

What they suit

Digital providers tend to fit businesses that want fast onboarding, low cost collection, and simple everyday flows. They are often strong for receiving payments and managing day to day money on a phone. As of 26 March 2026, the trade off is usually a narrower product range than a traditional bank, for example fewer foreign trade desks or branch services. For a business that needs those, a traditional bank such as Bancolombia or Davivienda may fit better, often for a monthly package fee. Note that Revolut has signalled plans to enter Colombia while its licensing is resolved, so treat its local business availability as unclear and verify before relying on it.

How to choose between digital and traditional

  1. List the services you actually use, including collection, transfers, cards, and any foreign trade needs.
  2. Compare the no maintenance fee digital account against the broader service range of a traditional bank.
  3. Confirm the opening requirements, the limits, and the current fees with the provider before you apply.
We do not list a business account that is confirmed available to business customers in Colombia through an affiliate as of 26 March 2026. Colombian digital providers such as Nequi, DaviPlata, Lulo Bank, and Nu Colombia serve business customers locally, and a registered Colombian entity with a RUT and NIT is normally required to open one. Cross border accounts such as Wise can hold and send many currencies but do not provide a local Colombian account. Compare the local options directly, see the related guides below for markets where listed providers are available, and verify any option with the provider before applying.
