Zelle at 4% All November — Your New Fee
· DolarPeso Team
From 1 November to 30 November 2026 (Bogotá time), exchanging your dollars with Zelle costs 4.0% + $1.50 instead of the usual 5.0% + $1.50. On 1 December the standard rate returns on its own.
Zelle fee: November vs. standard
| You send | November (4.0% + $1.50) | Standard (5.0% + $1.50) | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| $50 | $3.50 | $4.00 | $0.50 |
| $100 | $5.50 | $6.50 | $1.00 |
| $200 | $9.50 | $11.50 | $2.00 |
| $350 | $15.50 | $19.00 | $3.50 |
| $500 | $21.50 | $26.50 | $5.00 |
| $1,000 | $41.50 | $51.50 | $10.00 |
The $350 row is a typical monthly rent payment. Over the month you save $3.50 on that one exchange.
How it works
- Window: 00:00 on 1 November to 00:00 on 1 December 2026, Bogotá time. The rate that applies is the one in force when you place the order.
- Tickets up to $1,000. A Zelle exchange above $1,000 pays the standard 5.0% + $1.50.
- The fee comes out of your pesos. You send exactly the dollar amount you chose; nothing is added on top.
- Same exchange rate. The promotion only changes the service fee, not the real-time rate.
- Pesos are rounded down to the nearest 1,000 COP, as on every payment method.
- Your pickup code arrives once we confirm your Zelle payment.
What does not change
PayPal stays at 5.0% + $1.50 for US accounts and 6.5% + $1.50 for accounts outside the US, with the $175 minimum. Card payments and USDC keep their usual fees. The November price applies to Zelle only.
Western Union, Remitly or Zelle? Count the pesos.
You have dollars. You need pesos for the month. The useful question is simple: how much do you actually get?
That is your effective rate: final pesos received ÷ total dollars paid. Fees and rounding are already accounted for. More pesos for the same dollars means a better rate.
Your $350, with DolarPeso
This November, a $350 Zelle exchange has a $15.50 service fee. You pay $350 in total. The remaining $334.50 is converted at the rate shown in the calculator, and the pesos are rounded down to the nearest 1,000 COP. The displayed rate already includes our exchange-rate margin.
Your effective rate is the final pesos ÷ $350. You see the peso total before confirming, then receive your pickup code once we confirm your payment.
Checking the other options
| Option | What to check |
|---|---|
| Western Union | Compare its final cash-pickup quote. A $0 first-transfer fee is only part of the price; the exchange rate counts too. |
| Remitly | Check whether the quote is a welcome offer. For a regular exchange, compare the rate you will get next time as well. |
| Wise | Compare the pesos after its fee. Its Colombia route pays into a local bank account, rather than cash pickup. |
Keep the total spend at $350, including any extra fee, and compare quotes at the same time. For cash, choose cash pickup on both sides.
With DolarPeso, you pay with Zelle and collect your pesos at a verified partner location. No Colombian bank account needed. The November price is for eligible returning customers too, not just your first exchange.
