How to withdraw USDC from Phantom to a bank account in Colombia

Phantom is a self-custodial wallet best known for Solana, and it also supports Base and other networks. Many people get paid in USDC on Solana straight into Phantom, which makes it one of the most common starting points for a cash-out.

Bre-B is Colombia's instant payments system, built by Banco de la República so that any bank or wallet can send money to any other in seconds using a simple key (llave) — your phone number, ID number, email or an @alphanumeric key. Bancolombia, Nequi, Daviplata, Davivienda and other participants let you register keys. To cash out USDC to COP, you give Sacamos your Bre-B key and the partner pays out instantly.

Where to find your Bre-B key

In your bank or wallet app, look for the Bre-B or "llaves" section to see or register your keys. Register a key to the account where you want to receive.

Phantom: tips

  • Phantom supports Solana Actions and Blinks, so a cash-out can also be started from a Blink link and signed in Phantom.
  • Never share your Secret Recovery Phrase. Sacamos and its partners will never ask for it.
  • Use a key tied to an account in your own name — the cédula on the account must match your verification.
  • Your phone number is the easiest key, but an @alphanumeric key avoids sharing it.

Safety checklist

  • Send a small test amount the first time.
  • Check the network twice — sending on the wrong network can lose funds.
  • Never share your seed phrase. No real support agent will ask for it.
  • Only start cash-outs from the official site or app.

Frequently asked questions

What if my USDC in Phantom is on another network?

Bridge or swap it to USDC on Solana or Base first, using a reputable bridge, then cash out. Never send unsupported networks to the deposit address.

Which networks are supported?

USDC on Solana and USDC on Base. Do not send USDC on other networks, or other tokens. Phantom can send USDC on Solana and Base — both work with Sacamos.

How long does a Bre-B payout take?

Seconds once the payout is sent. 24/7.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the amount and corridor. The quote shows the exchange rate and all fees before you send, plus a small network fee paid in your wallet. Sending USDC on Solana requires a small amount of SOL for the network fee; on Base you need a little ETH on Base. Network fees on both are typically a small fraction of a dollar, but they vary with demand.

Do I need a crypto exchange account?

No. You send USDC directly from your own wallet to a partner deposit address. You never deposit into an exchange account.

Can I receive in Nequi?

Yes, if you have a Bre-B key registered to your Nequi account. Keep Nequi's monthly limits in mind for larger amounts.
