Crypto adoption is growing fast across Latin America, and Colombia is at the heart of that growth. With millions of users holding stablecoins and other digital assets, the need for real-world spending options has never been more urgent.
We’re meeting that demand with local integration and product coverage. From Bogotá to Barranquilla, Bando gives users the power to use their crypto without leaving the chain.
Until now, spending crypto meant jumping through unnecessary hoops: swapping to fiat, bridging to a centralized exchange, withdrawing to a bank, and then making a purchase. That process is broken—not just in terms of time, but also in fees, user experience, and trust.
Bando changes that. We've built a protocol that allows anyone in Colombia to spend USDC, USDT and other assets directly from their wallets. No off-ramp required. No complex flows. Just choose what you want, confirm the transaction, and receive your product instantly.
Bando isn’t just a checkout tool. It's an infrastructure layer that makes spending possible across the Web3 stack. Wallets and dApps can integrate Bando through a widget or API, and instantly offer spending capabilities to their users. Because everything runs onchain, there’s no regulatory burden for the integrator, and margins are significantly higher than swaps, up to 17,000% in some cases.
Our focus has always been on real-world use cases where crypto is needed most. In markets like Colombia, where stablecoins are widely used for savings and remittances, the ability to spend those assets without exiting to fiat is a game changer. Bando closes the loop: you can now go from holding crypto to using it for everyday expenses, with just a few clicks.
Bando is live and ready for users in Colombia. No more waiting for bank transfers or struggling with exchange interfaces. Just open your wallet, connect to a Bando-integrated dApp, and spend with confidence.
