Fogafín

Fogafín, the Fondo de Garantías de Instituciones Financieras, is a Colombian financial-sector institution focused on protecting people’s savings. It provides deposit insurance for eligible savings held at enrolled financial institutions, helping citizens understand the coverage available and how to access it. Through its online deposit insurance calculator, users can select a product and institution, enter a balance, and estimate the insured amount. Fogafín also provides information about how to request insurance payments and publishes official, interactive data on savings, depositors, and insured deposits.

Beyond these services, Fogafín supports public understanding of money and saving through financial education resources, including games, stories, activities, and its “Historias del Bolsillo” video podcast. Its website offers citizen service channels, frequently asked questions, a glossary, and tools for checking the status of requests. The institution also shares news, reports, policies, and information about its mission, history, and work. Based in Bogotá, Fogafín provides telephone and online assistance to citizens and financial institutions, contributing to confidence and understanding within Colombia’s financial system.
