My Colombian wife has an account with Davivienda and when we transfer money from the USA to her account, Davividenda turns it into a major complication and bureaucratic nightmare. We have to spend hours with them justifying the transfer, the origin of the money, and what we are going to do with it. Please don't tell me why they are doing it, I know that it has to do with the narco traficantes and money laundering but I am an honest and responsible retired person who wants to live with my wife's family in Colombia and I am sick of the constant suspicion about my activities.
Are there Colombian banks that are more friendly with expats and who don't make you jump through hoops every time you transfer/wire money? Regardless of national law and banking regulations, there has to be some banks who make it easier for retired people to routinely transfer money.
