Hi all,

is it difficult for expats to open a bank account in Colombia ?

Which documents are required to open a bank account in Colombia ?

How long does it take to open it ?

Is there any restriction for expats regarding the services (loans for instance)聽 ?

Which bank would you recommend ?

Thanks in advance for your participation,

Julien

we just go one with City Bank not bad at all

but it was trought the company if you are working
with any company ask then and they will give you all the documentation you need.
remember that it's Southamerica so you may have some issue in the beginning but nothing terrible just some people are not qualified enough to do they job!.
they will call you 17 time during the week to ask same thing
little be of spanish will be so helpful
belive me you will need it.

good look
