Saving is a habit that, according to experts, everyone should adapt to their financial life. This process, which consists of saving a portion of income each month, can guarantee a person a better future, by allowing them to make greater investments or maneuver in case of an emergency or unforeseen event.
Exchange houses become important players in the process of saving physical currencies, as they allow you to buy and sell different currencies without carrying out cumbersome processes, paperwork or long waiting times. These transactions are made instantly at the establishment.
These places are regulated in Colombia by the National Tax and Customs Directorate (Dian), although the purchase and sale prices are set autonomously by them and in these there is no participation of official or government entities.
