Bufalo -
I know that Bancolombia USED to take both types of cards. I have a new smart card from BCol, but my wife had the old style card. Two weeks ago, she received an email from BCol saying her old card was being replaced, and would not work after 1 JAN '17. We picked up her new card at the bank's mail drop in Rio Negro yesterday. So ... I'm not certain whether the old non-smart cards will work at Bancolombia ATMs after the first of the year. Davienda or any other banks ... I have no clue. Sorry.

Getting a chip card from TD Bank was my "crisis of the day" a little over a year ago. I had been pestering them since the beginning of 2014 for a chip debit card. Finally, at the last minute, I received mine in October of last year. The "word on the street" at the Colombian banks was that after October 2015, no ATM anywhere in Colombia, would be accepting non-chip cards (including Bancolombia, a national bank). Prior to receiving my chip card, I was getting warnings on Bancolombia ATM screens to replace my swipe card with a chip card. So, I don't know if your swipe card will still work here... even Bancolombia. It's best to go to a branch office today, and ask if they can issue you a new chip card before you leave. It's little SNAFU's, like this, that get us full-time ex-pats all the time.

My bank cards were changed to chip cards in a matter of minutes nearly 4 years ago. No trouble, no fuss and no charge.

You never know in Colombia when it comes with banks. Come to think about it, anything really. I would not surprise me if for example one Bancolombia atm accepts chip cards only and another Bancolombia atm down the road accepts both.

bancolombia 3K per dollar all good. One less detail to worry about. Glad swipe debit cards still work more than a year after Bancolombia said they wouldn't.

I have a Well's Fargo ATM card that wouldn't work in Bancolombia's ATM, it has a chip. But I had a friend who has a Well's Fargo ATM card and he swears it will work. I spent awhile talking to a Bancolombia service representative who told me it wouldn't work and referred me to a Chase ATM, which I didn't try. My friend and I got together, and I told him I wanted to see his card work in a Bancolombia ATM, and it worked! So, I tried it and mine worked also. But that's the only Bancolomibia ATM it will work in. You just never know.

FYI, just received word by E-mail that Charles Schwab is reissuing new ATM debit cards with a chip. They are supposed to be sent out this month.
Said the old cards will be deactivated 30 days after the new card is issued.

So far no problemo with Bancolombia. I don't think there's a fee either.
