What is Bre-B, Colombia's instant payment system

Bre-B is Colombia's instant payment system, run by the central bank, Banco de la República. It connects banks and wallets so money moves in seconds, at any hour, addressed by a key or a QR code.

Keys and codes instead of account numbers

Bre-B addresses an account by a key: a phone number, an ID number, an email or a code the bank generates. Its QR codes work across participating banks and wallets, so a code shown in one app is paid from another.

What changes for a payment from abroad

On DVBridge, Colombia is a QR market: your user scans a code, and the request carries the payload exactly as the camera read it. There is no bank to pick and no account number to type.

Questions and answers

  • Do I need to know which bank or wallet the recipient uses?

    No. The key or the code resolves to the account; the payer does not choose an institution.
