Abstract: This paper aims to carry out a theoretical and methodological analysis on the access to and use of financial services, recognizing that it is a vital issue especially for the productive sector of a country. It begins by reviewing the concept of banking, and then through a descriptive analysis to present the most relevant aspects of access to financial services in Brazil, Colombia, Peru and finally Ecuador. Based on these results, reference points are made for the evaluation of Ecuador, where there is a rapid expansion of the banking sector to previously unknown areas.
