The currency in Ecuador is the US dollar.

It is recommended that travellers bring both US dollar notes and travellers cheques as other foreign currencies are difficult to exchange outside of Quito.

ATMs are available in the cities, and major credit cards are accepted in tourist areas and large hotels although a commission of 6-8% is often charged.

Travellers can exchange any other currency in Quito, Guayaquil and Cuenca without difficulty.
