Bank recommendations for opening an account in Colombia?

stealtannest3t

What banks do you recommend in Colombia?  After 3+ years here I decided to take the plunge and open an account but have run into a few roadblocks.  I have just used ATM's and stood in line in the past to pay bills that are only a few hundred USD a month but am tired of this. 


Got turned down at Fallabella (your not in the system), Itaú (you need to have filed a declaración de renta), Bancolombia (need a RUT).  The line at Davivienda was insane!  Have a Cedula de Extranjaria and pensionado visa. 


Advice dear fellow expats?
