What is Nequi?
Nequi is a Colombian digital wallet and financial platform which is widely used in Colombia. It is interesting to notice that the word Nequi means "travel buddy''. The inspirational name may be related to the fact that the application is completely digital and a smartphone is enough to access it and use it anywhere.
According to Forbes, there are more than 9.7 million Nequi clients, which makes it a very popular payment method. The platform was developed and boosted by Bancolombia (the largest commercial bank of Colombia) in 2016 and, in December of 2021, Nequi announced that it would no longer be part of the bank's portfolio.
Nequi's app can be found in Play Store or App Store depending on the smartphone. Besides being convenient, opening an account on Nequi is free. All a user needs is to be more than 13 years old, have a phone number, and provide a personal identification document.
