Produbanco has been fostering economic development in Ecuador since its inception in 1978. With good corporate governance at the heart of its operations from day one, Produbanco has earned a reputation for principled business conduct and forward-looking compliance strategies.

Produbanco limits board membership terms to two years, ensuring a regular influx of fresh thinking and fresh talent, all the while maintaining a laser-sharp focus. The bank’s enviable track record resulted in external financing from European multilaterals in 2018, further boosting its capacity to foster economic development.
