Ecuador dollarised its economy in 2000, making cross-border USD wires straightforward without exchange-rate conversion risk. Banco Pichincha, Banco del Pacífico, Banco Guayaquil, and Produbanco are the primary SWIFT correspondents, processing petroleum export revenues (Ecuador is a minor OPEC member), banana, cacao, and shrimp export proceeds, and diaspora remittances from Ecuadorians in the United States and Spain.
