What enabling titles does a telecommunications company need?+
It depends on the service to be provided, but generally a concession, authorization or registration before ARCOTEL is required, together with compliance with technical and periodic reporting obligations. We assist with obtaining and renewing these titles.
What regulatory obligations apply to a fintech in Ecuador?+
Depending on the financial product offered, requirements may include anti-money-laundering prevention, data protection and, in some cases, specific authorizations from the financial regulator. We structure the compliance model from the product's design stage.
What changes under Executive Decree No. 298 on AML compliance?+
The decree raises the compliance standard for anti-money-laundering prevention for banks and fintechs, requiring more robust risk-management systems that are verifiable before the regulator. We review your current risk matrix against this new framework.
