Interoperability beyond Bre-B: Building technological trust

Colombia’s financial system is undergoing a historic transformation. The launch of Bre-B, the instant payment digital wallet managed by the Central Bank, promises to move us toward a more digital economy—one that relies less on cash and fosters greater financial inclusion.

Balancing digital transformation and technical debt

Amid the rush to embrace digitalization, many companies in Latin America stumble upon a silent yet costly enemy: technical debt.

Is your company ready for AI adoption? Beyond the hype: Talent, processes, and mindset

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a concept of the future—it’s a current, actionable tool delivering measurable impact across industries, from banking to retail.

The false dilemma between speed and quality: How AI-Powered testing becomes the real business accelerator

In the race to deliver digital products faster and faster, many companies are falling into a dangerous trap: believing they must choose between speed and quality. This supposed dilemma is not only false—it’s also costly.

Data engineering as a competitive business advantage

In the digital age, data is the most valuable asset for any business. Yet, over 80% of generated data isn’t used effectively (according to Gartner), representing a huge missed opportunity.

DevOps and QA: How a culture of collaboration is transforming software quality

In the software industry, quality is no longer just a final step — it’s a shared responsibility from the very start. The integration of DevOps into Quality Assurance (QA) marks a profound shift that goes beyond simply automating processes.

Reducing cash usage and speeding up transactions isn’t the only goal—nor is it the biggest challenge. The real test will be building a trustworthy, interoperable, and secure digital ecosystem that defines Bre-B’s true impact on the country.

Interoperability shouldn’t be seen merely as banks talking to each other. Bre-B’s success will hinge on its ability to connect with all key players—from fintechs and tech providers to merchants and everyday citizens. In a landscape where 70% of people still prefer cash and half fear digital fraud, technology must go beyond code and connectivity—it needs to inspire trust, from its very design to the end-user experience.

Real interoperability: Technology serving every player

The digital payments chain neither begins nor ends with banking infrastructure. If Bre-B is to deliver on its transformative promise, it must enable seamless integration with fintech companies, payment platform developers, merchants, and even everyday citizens. This creates a critical layer of technical interoperability that goes far beyond simply moving money from one account to another.

It’s not just about compatible protocols and APIs. It’s about providing accessible platforms, available across different devices, with a user experience that’s easy to understand—even for people who have never used a digital wallet before. Every point of friction—a QR code that won’t scan, a complicated sign-up process, or a confusing security alert—breeds distrust. Designing truly interoperable solutions also means being inclusive, empathetic, and efficient.

Digital trust is the invisible key to adoption

The numbers speak for themselves: in Colombia, over 70% of citizens still prefer cash, and 52% are afraid to use digital channels due to fraud concerns (Visa and AMI, 2023). This distrust can’t be solved with teaser campaigns or early-adopter perks—it requires technology that inspires credibility, delivers protection, and ensures transparency at its core.

Solutions must embed proactive security by design. It’s not enough to detect fraud after it happens; it must be anticipated through artificial intelligence, strong authentication, and hardened system architectures. Transparency needs to be tangible—users should be able to see, understand, and track their transactions in real time. And above all, education is key. Investing in digital financial literacy means investing in the sustainability of the entire system. Accessible design, hands-on support, and clear educational resources must be an integral part of every digital transaction.

ChatGPT plus the role of Q-Vision Technologies: Making trust visible

With over 21 years of experience, Q-Vision Technologies has become a strategic partner in building reliable digital solutions. In the context of Bre-B and the financial sector’s digital transformation, our mission takes on a new level of importance: ensuring that quality becomes a visible enabler of innovation.

From software testing services to specialized training, we work to make every digital interaction secure, efficient, and operationally seamless. Here’s how we do it:

  • Functional and Automated Quality Assurance: We design and execute tests that validate critical flows in financial platforms, ensuring proper functionality before, during, and after deployment. Automated testing minimizes errors and speeds up delivery cycles.

  • Performance Testing for High-Demand Scenarios: We assess how solutions respond under real-world heavy usage to prevent outages and bottlenecks during peak moments in the financial system.

  • Integration and Interoperability Validation: We support our clients in verifying APIs and connected services—essential for ecosystems like Bre-B, where smooth communication between multiple entities is critical.

  • Business-Oriented QA Consulting: Beyond technical execution, we help define quality strategies aligned with business goals, focusing on risks that truly impact user experience.

  • Continuous Learning with IzyAcademy: Through our training programs, we strengthen internal teams’ capabilities, fostering a sustainable quality culture tailored to today’s financial market demands.

In a world where trust is built with every click, every transaction, and every second of uptime, Q-Vision Technologies works to make the invisible—quality—impossible to miss.

Concrete action lines toward a trusted payment ecosystem

Technology alone won’t make Bre-B a transformative solution. What will truly drive change is the ecosystem we can build together—banks, tech providers, regulators, merchants, and citizens. These should be the pillars of a conscious and sustainable adoption:

  • Expand interoperability beyond banking: Bring fintechs, developers, designers, and tech platforms together to define shared standards.

  • Implement continuous, automated, and collaborative testing: Ensure integrated solutions are developed and launched with a focus on security, speed, and scalability.

  • Pair technology with digital literacy strategies: Provide educational support and inclusive design to close the knowledge gaps that block mass adoption.

  • Foster multisector partnerships: Combine expertise from consultancies, IT companies, UX specialists, and QA professionals to enable a cohesive and trustworthy implementation.

  • Use agile cycles to capture citizen feedback: Adjust features based not only on technical results but also on real user behavior and expectations.

Bre-B is much more than a digital wallet—it’s the gateway to a financially and technologically renewed Colombia. But the journey won’t be purely technical; it’s cultural too. It will depend on how well we design ecosystems where interoperability works seamlessly, security inspires trust, and technology truly serves the citizen.

At Q-Vision Technologies, we don’t just test platforms—we lay the foundations for a nation’s digital trust. Because in the era of digital payments, the most valuable currency is knowing every click is safe, transparent, and built for you. Let’s build that trust together.
