QUITO, Ecuador—Customers of Ecuador’s largest bank continued to experience service disruptions on Friday following a cyberattack on the institution several days earlier.

Long lines formed outside Pichincha bank branches and thousands of customers took their complaints to social media. People reported being unable to access services offered by the bank’s online and mobile app. ATMs worked somewhat regularly and branches remained open.
