Chase refusing to register us for travel notification

Post new topic

David and Juan

This morning 3 days before our scouting trip to Ecuador Our bank is refusing to add it as there Travel notification because they consider  Ecuador HIGH RISK'.......Seriously!   When I asked the guy in what sense... He responded crime and money laundering.   The same US banks that in 2008 had no problems getting bailed out.  So now I am concerned that we will not be able to use ATM. Any advice!

I have a Chase bank account and have had no problem using the ATMs in Cuenca.

I have a Bank of America credit Card. I have to notify them periodically that I am living in Ecuador or they put a freeze on my card if I make a big purchase.
