The Banco de Descuento was a private commercial bank operating out of Guayaquil, and its note-issuing activity was already living on borrowed time by 1923. Ecuador's government had been pushing toward centralized banking for years — a process that would culminate in the founding of the Banco Central del Ecuador in 1927, after which private bank circulation was systematically wound down and most outstanding notes called in for redemption.
Waterlow & Sons handled a significant share of South American private bank work during this period, and their production for the Banco de Descuento followed the firm's reliable intaglio standards. Notes from this issuer that survived the 1927 redemption did so largely by accident.
