Saw some posts about banks, and wanted to pass on this info I just got for one of my clients:
Banco de Pichincha is offering 4.25% on its one and two year CDs. (If you invest $25,000 you also get a free flat-sceen Samsung ultraslim TV, to boot!).
Might be a good option to consider for those folks looking to get their Resident Visa.... Remember the $25,000 requirement.
