Banco Pyme Ecofuturo S.A. is a Bolivian financial institution that originated from Ecofuturo S.A. Private Financial Fund, founded in 1999. Ecofuturo was established through the collaboration of four Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) dedicated to supporting the development of micro and small enterprises in Bolivia.
