No authority limits banking abuses

Users have been complaining on social media about banks arbitrarily setting limits on card use abroad. Once again, Banco Económico reduced credit limits despite previously agreeing to a higher amount. Authorities remain passive, failing to intervene.

Customers report that Banco Económico initially allowed up to $600 in card transactions but unilaterally lowered the limit to 1,000 bolivianos without prior notice.

For some time, clients have described a “financial lockdown” on foreign currency. Businesses also prefer cash over cards due to high transaction fees.

Each week, users share new restrictions imposed by banks on international transactions, with limits tightening further.

Not only do these restrictions frustrate consumers, but industrial sectors also complain about high transaction fees, despite regulatory caps.
