Is it okay to use ATMs late in the evening in Ecuador or should I stick to daytime withdrawals only? I am a single woman travelling so want to be safe.
Ecuador’s great but don’t risk late-night ATM runs, especially alone.Used mostly Banco Pacifico at day time!
Used an ATM once at night near my hostel in Cuenca and honestly didn’t feel safe. It worked fine, but I kept looking over my shoulder.
I’m a solo female traveler.... I only used ATMs in daylight, usually Banco Pichincha or Banco del Pacífico inside supermarkets. Felt much better with people around.
I always used ATMs inside malls or banks during the day. In Quito and Guayaquil, I didn’t feel comfortable using outdoor machines after dark :/
BNCPacifico ATM in Duran, Ecuador is in a high-risk area. Be alert, especially at night.
Used an Australian bank card at Pichincha-no fee at all. Super convenient.
Always use the ATM inside Banco Guayaquil for better security and functionality.
