🇨🇴 Send USDC to Colombia
Colombia has one of Latin America’s most active freelance and remote-work communities, and many of them prefer to be paid in stablecoins. Coinbax Send moves USDC wallet-to-wallet on Base with an escrow window you control — pay a designer in Medellín or a developer in Bogotá and keep the ability to cancel until the work-checks clear and you release.
How it works
1. Connect your wallet
MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet. No sign-up, no deposit — you send straight from the wallet you already use.
2. Enter their address and set your window
Paste your recipient's wallet address, choose the amount of USDC or USDT, and pick a hold window from 5 minutes to 7 days. The exact total — fee included — is shown before you sign.
3. The funds escrow on-chain until you're sure
The stablecoins sit in an escrow smart contract on Base — not with the recipient, not with Coinbax. Cancel for a full refund, release early once your recipient in Colombia confirms, or let the contract release automatically.
Built for sending across borders
The hardest part of paying someone in Colombia from abroad is trust in an address you can't double-check in person. A normal stablecoin transfer is final the instant you sign it — one wrong character and the money is gone. Coinbax Send holds every transfer in escrow for a window you choose, lets you invite your recipient to confirm their wallet address by email before you pay, and screens both sides of every send against the OFAC, EU, and UN sanctions lists through Chainalysis. If anything looks wrong, you cancel and the full amount comes back.
What your recipient gets
USDC, delivered to their own self-custodial wallet on Base — a US-dollar-denominated stablecoin they control completely. From there they can hold it, spend it where stablecoins are accepted, or exchange it for Colombian pesos through third-party services available in Colombia. That last step is theirs and happens outside Coinbax Send: we move stablecoins wallet-to-wallet and never convert currency, deliver fiat, or hold funds for either side.
Frequently asked questions
How do I send USDC to someone in Colombia?
Connect your wallet at send.coinbax.com, enter your recipient's wallet address, choose the amount and a hold window from 5 minutes to 7 days, and sign with your own wallet. The USDC moves into an on-chain escrow contract on Base; it releases to your recipient when the window passes, or earlier if you release it yourself. Until then you can cancel for a full refund.
What does my recipient in Colombia need to receive USDC?
Only a self-custodial wallet that supports the Base network — such as MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet. The USDC arrives directly in their wallet; they don't need a Coinbax Send account, and Coinbax never holds the funds for either side.
How does my recipient turn USDC into Colombian pesos?
That part is up to them, outside of Coinbax Send. Recipients can hold USDC as a US-dollar-denominated balance, spend it where stablecoins are accepted, or exchange it for Colombian pesos through third-party services available in Colombia. Coinbax Send only handles the wallet-to-wallet transfer — it does not convert currency or deliver fiat.
Why do people use stablecoins to send to Colombia?
Colombians working with international clients increasingly invoice in stablecoins: USDC holds a US-dollar value, settles in minutes, and stays under the recipient’s own control. Send’s escrow window fits how work actually gets paid — commit the funds upfront so the other side knows the money is real, release when you’re satisfied.
