Private banks in Ecuador will provide limited services during the carnival holiday, ensuring customers can perform various transactions via ATMs, non-bank correspondents, and digital banking.
In observance of the carnival holiday on February 16 and 17, private banks in Ecuador will maintain a range of services to accommodate their customers. The Association of Private Banks of Ecuador (Asobanca) has announced that financial institutions will guarantee the continuity of essential banking services nationwide during this time. Customers will have access to different channels to ensure they can perform transactions without interruption.
Available services include the use of ATMs, which allow for cash withdrawals and deposits. Additionally, non-bank correspondents located in local stores, pharmacies, and supermarkets will offer services such as transfers, cash withdrawals, and bill payments. Digital banking options will also remain available, enabling transactions through mobile phones, tablets, and computers, providing convenience during the holiday period.
Asobanca advises users to check the specific banking services and hours of operation through the official accounts of their financial institutions. It also encourages the use of electronic means for transactions to ensure efficiency and safety, especially during peak holiday times when people may be on the move and need quick access to banking services.
