What moves the USD to COP rate
The rate shifts constantly with global markets. The main drivers include Banco de la República and US Federal Reserve policy, oil prices, and remittance and trade flows. Short-term moves are impossible to predict reliably, so the smart approach is to know the mid-market rate and compare providers whenever you convert.
Is the rate you see the rate you get?
Usually not exactly. The figure above is the fair mid-market rate. When you exchange money or send it abroad, most banks and providers add a margin, so you receive slightly less. Use the mid-market rate as your benchmark — if a provider is more than about 1% worse, they are padding the rate.
