Paying in Colombia: QR wallets help
QR payments are everywhere in Colombia — taxi and rideshare drivers, restaurants, hotels, even small shops. No local bank account? The Moreta Pay app lets you top up from your own card and scan local QR codes. All-in it costs about 4.5% (currency exchange + top-up + app fee), often close to what banks charge for foreign ATM withdrawals — compare with your own bank's fees; skipping the cash runs is the real win. moretapay.com
