New! Sigma Adds Bre-B Support in Colombia for Faster Local Payments
Bre-B is Colombia's central bank-led push toward faster, interoperable payments. Sigma now supports Bre-B to improve local payout rails for global teams.
GLOBAL, Mar 5, 2026 - Sigma announced Bre-B support in Colombia, expanding local payment capabilities for teams paying contractors and vendors in the country. Bre-B is Colombia's central bank-led push toward faster, interoperable payments across participating banks and wallets.
As companies scale payroll and vendor payments across LATAM, operations often break on local rails and reconciliation, not on the will to pay. Bre-B is designed to reduce that friction by improving interoperability and speed in domestic payments.
What this means for teams paying in Colombia
With Bre-B support, Sigma customers can benefit from improved local payment operations where Bre-B is available:
- Faster local transfers where Bre-B is available
- Fewer payment failures and less manual follow-up work
- Cleaner operations as you scale payroll across LATAM
Why Bre-B matters
Bre-B is built to modernize how payments move in Colombia through interoperability across participating institutions.
The ecosystem also introduces aliases (identifiers such as phone, email, or ID) that can be used to route payments more efficiently, depending on a recipient's bank or wallet setup.

Executive quote
"LATAM payroll does not break on intent. It breaks on local rails and ops. Bre-B is a meaningful step toward interoperability in Colombia, and we want Sigma customers to benefit from faster local payments and smoother payout operations as this ecosystem scales." Kevin Jaspal, CEO of Sigma
