Nequi: An innovative platform for digital financial services
Nequi is a digital financial services platform that has revolutionized the way Colombians access payment and banking tools. Launched in 2016 by Bancolombia, Nequi has grown rapidly and has established itself as one of the most widely used digital wallets in Latin America, with more than 20 million active users by 2024. Nequi is positioned as a key solution for financial inclusion in Colombia, especially for those who do not have easy access to traditional banking services.
Key features of Nequi
Ease of use and mass adoption
Nequi stands out for its ease of use, allowing users to register and start making transactions in a matter of minutes. Users can easily create an account from their smartphone, without complex procedures. In addition, its intuitive interface and wide range of features make it one of the favorite platforms among those looking for a hassle-free digital experience. In 2024, Nequi continues to drive financial inclusion, especially in rural and urban areas with difficult access to traditional banking services.
New financial tools: Nequi Goals and more
Among Nequi's most innovative features is Nequi Goals, a tool that allows users to define specific savings goals, such as vacations or major purchases, and make automated savings to achieve them. In addition, in 2024, Nequi has expanded its portfolio with nanocredits and microinvestments, allowing users to access more accessible financial products and schedule their savings on a regular basis to achieve long-term goals.
Nequi's financial services: International transfers, payments and remittances
Fast transfers and flexible payments
Nequi allows instant money transfers to other Nequi users or bank accounts, facilitating day-to-day financial management. In addition, users can pay their utility bills directly from the application, eliminating the need for face-to-face transactions. It is also possible to schedule automatic payments of recurring bills, facilitating the financial organization of users. In addition, users can make online purchases at merchants that accept Nequi as a payment method, making it a complete solution.
Cardless cash withdrawal
An important aspect is the possibility of withdrawing cash without the need for a physical card, directly from enabled ATMs, which offers flexibility to users who still prefer to use cash for some transactions.
Expansion in international remittances
In 2024, Nequi has strengthened its international remittance service through its partnership with TerraPay, allowing users to receive money from more than 200 countries directly into their digital wallet. This expands the possibilities for users who rely on transfers from family members abroad.
Security and advanced technology at Nequi
Encryption and two-factor authentication
Security is paramount at Nequi, which uses advanced data encryption to protect user information during all transactions. In addition, it has implemented biometric technologies in 2024, such as facial and voice recognition, further enhancing security and the user experience.
Real-time monitoring
Nequi also offers real-time transaction monitoring, detecting any suspicious activity and protecting users' accounts from fraud.
Adjusted monthly usage limit
To align with Colombian financial regulations, Nequi has established a monthly usage limit of COP $9,907,182, a measure designed to avoid risks associated with large transaction volumes without additional controls. Users can remove this limit by completing checks within the app.
Future prospects: Innovation and growth
Nequi continues to expand its presence in Colombia's fintech ecosystem and plans to continue innovating in the management of digital payments. Upcoming projects include the launch of more financial tools focused on personalizing services and optimizing the user experience through the use of artificial intelligence.
