Private Banks Say Services Will Continue During June 26 Holiday

Ecuador's private banks say they will keep service channels open during the national holiday on Friday, June 26, 2026.

According to El Universo, Asobanca said private financial institutions will maintain their main attention channels so users can continue making transactions during the holiday.

What Should Be Available

The source says physical bank offices will attend as usual, digital banking will remain available from phones, tablets and computers, and ATMs will continue operating for withdrawals, deposits and other transactions.

Asobanca also pointed to Ecuador's network of corresponsales no bancarios, or non-bank correspondents, which operate in shops, pharmacies, supermarkets and other businesses in all cantons.

What This Means for Expats

For routine transfers, card management and bill payments, digital banking remains the cleanest option. If you need an in-person branch, check your specific bank's official channels before traveling, because individual schedules can still vary by institution or location.

The broader takeaway is that the holiday is not a full private-banking shutdown.
