InternationalFX

FX regime, foreign investment and currency operations. Technical compliance for every cross-jurisdiction flow, with the traceability authorities demand.

Global Presence

In brief

Colombia's international FX regime governs how foreign currency enters and leaves the country: foreign investment, external borrowing, imports, exports, derivatives and transfers between residents and non-residents. T&C advises on canalization, registration with the central bank and defence in FX sanction proceedings.

What we do

Every flow crosses a silent regulatory border.

FX regulation is the silent border of any cross-border operation. We support companies, funds and private wealth in FX compliance, currency channeling and structuring foreign direct investment, booking and repatriating it with the precision authorities demand.
