## Key editorial positions

These reflect the site's verified, locked factual stances — not subject to change based on competitor claims:

1. **Nequi is a direct method** — not via Nequi virtual Visa card. Appears as its own option in the deposits interface.
2. **PSE is deposit only** — not available for withdrawals.
3. **Inactivity fee trigger:** day 90 of inactivity. Login does NOT count as activity. Only deposits, new trades, or open positions count.
4. **Sky Ladder LLC is the correct entity for Colombia** — not IQ Option Europe Ltd, not CySEC-regulated. CySEC applies only to EEA clients.
5. **No uniform deposit minimum** — each method has its own minimum. Range: $3 (Efecty/Volet) to $15 (Nequi/Bré-B).
6. **Two Trustpilot profiles exist**: active profile is iqbroker.com (4.2–4.3/5, ~2,544 reviews); legacy profile is iqoption.com (lower rating, no longer actively managed by IQ Option).
7. **No $31 wire fee for Colombian bank withdrawals** — that fee is for international wire transfers only.
8. **Account currency choice is permanent** — cannot be changed after first deposit.
9. **Visa/Mastercard requires KYC before first deposit** — not after.
10. **Bré-B requires exact invoice amount** — different amounts auto-refunded, not applied to deposit.

## Content language

All pages: Spanish (es-CO). All monetary values expressed in both USD and COP. COP approximations use ~4,600 COP/USD unless otherwise noted.
