DaviPlata was launched in February 2011 as a cash management service in Colombia.

DaviPlata is the digital solution that democratized access to financial services by leveraging the potential of mobile phones. DaviPlata was the first platform that enabled anyone in Colombia to:

  • Transfer money via social media.
  • Make free interbank transfers.
  • Have a prepaid e-card instantly.
  • Receive subsidies through a mobile solution.
  • Manage one’s money over a cellphone without any data charges.
  • Withdraw or deposit cash on ATMs without a card.
  • Use its full interface even when the user has a disability.

Today, DaviPlata is more than a convenient payment system. Our wallet is linked to partner companies enhancing their value-added strategies for everyone who interacts with them.

DaviPlata has expanded beyond Colombian borders and is now also in El Salvador, where it has grown hand-in-hand with the Financial Inclusion Law, fostering the use of electronic deposits and simplified accounts in the country.
