Where to find COSEDE Coverage Amount and Risk Ratings

15 October 2023 21:19:17

For those not aware, banks/coops offer a maximum guaranteed insurable amount of $32,000.

Depending on financial institution, they may not even offer that much.

To find out what segment your Bank/Cooperativa is, you can use this link:

https://www.cosede.gob.ec/conoce-tu-monto-de-cobertura/

Another factor is risk rating, which is done about every 6 months or so. This report is published, along with a key to explain what the ratings mean.

The most recent report is June 2023, and that is available here:

23 de Julio: COOPERATIVA DE AHORRO Y CRÉDITO 23 DE JULIO

JEP: COOPERATIVA DE AHORRO Y CRÉDITO JUVENTUD ECUATORIANA PROGRESISTA

CREA: COOPERATIVA DE AHORRO Y CRÉDITO CREA
