How has the COP/USD exchange rate changed over the past 12 months?

Understanding the COP/USD exchange rate is crucial for anyone sending money from the U.S. to Colombia. Over the past 12 months, the Colombian peso (COP) has experienced notable volatility against the U.S. dollar (USD), largely driven by Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, global oil prices (a key Colombian export), and domestic inflation trends. As of mid-2024, the rate has ranged between approximately 3,700 and 4,200 COP per USD—reflecting a depreciation of roughly 8–10% year-on-year.

This fluctuation directly impacts remittance value: when the peso weakens, recipients in Colombia receive fewer pesos for each dollar sent. For example, a $500 transfer yielded ~$1.9M COP at 3,800 COP/USD—but only ~$1.85M at 3,700. Timing matters, and savvy senders benefit from rate alerts and forward contracts offered by trusted remittance providers.
