The VIIO Visa Card, physical or virtual, works in Colombia and abroad, in physical stores and online, with no maintenance fee. It's a separate product from Persimon S.A.S. (VIIO Colombia), under its own contract: when you make a purchase, Persimon pays for it and the amount is deducted from your VIIO balance. With the physical card, in some cases contactless payment requires a first purchase inserting the card into the card terminal; after that, it works normally.
Requirements: You can request the physical card at no cost as long as you have at least USD 50 in your account when you request it. That amount isn't charged; it's only a balance requirement, and you can still use those funds afterward. The virtual card requires a minimum balance of USD 3 and is activated immediately.
