Money transfer

2 years ago

I recently opened an account with banco Pichincha. I tried to move $5000 to it from my US account using XOOM.
The day my money was supposed to arrive, received an email that the Ecuadorian government needed information like a scan of my passport, my last bank statement among others.
Every time I send documents and answer questions, the answer is more questions.
I appreciate the Ecuadorian government's actions to stop drug money. But then - how do I get my money into this country?

Has anybody had similar experiences recently? And how do you transfer money?
