Rappi—Colombian regulator fined Rappi ~COP 4 billion for consumer-rights violations and ignoring prior remediation orders
Colombia's Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio (SIC) sanctioned Rappi S.A.S. on April 8, 2026 for violating consumer rights and failing to comply with the authority's prior instructions. The ruling cited poor service quality (orders delivered damaged, incomplete, wrong, or late) and systemic failures in Rappi's complaint-handling process, including a lack of timely, substantive responses to consumers. The fine (~COP 4,003,566,000, roughly $1M) is the largest in a pattern of SIC sanctions against Rappi dating back to 2019 for data-protection and consumer-rights violations.
