Overview

We work with one of the largest private banks in Portugal. With your account, you'll have access to hundreds of branches and ATMs throughout the country.

The account can be for an individual or a joint account with two account holders. You will not need to notarize or apostille any documents.

We offer two options for opening your Portuguese bank account:
