Yes. I opened accounts with Banco del Austro with a passport. I know other expats who have done this at Banco de Guayaquil

Hi

That is why we opened acct at Banco de Loja.聽 No Cedula required and no reference letters.聽 Just passport. They also pay 7% on CDs.聽 Many people like Jep Credit Union but they have a bit more risk.

Just out of curiosity, what are some of your opinions on Mutualista Pichincha? My wife has an account there, & I was thinking simply of adding me in for a joint account. I usually defer to her judgement on all things Ecuadorian, but I would love to hear the opinons of expats actually living down there...
