Banks and Money

An up-close shot of an ATM

There are many banks in Ecuador, all of which are easily accessible. ATMs are normally found outside of the banks. One can change money at both banks and exchange bureaus, although the rates at banks tend to be better. One can buy or cash travelers checks at both the banks and the offices of American Express. The U.S. dollar is the currency used in Ecuador.
