Who we are

Welcome to ActivoBank!

We assume that innovation is part of our DNA. We were born in 1994 as the first Phone Bank in Portugal. In 2001, we began to offer investment solutions to our Customers. In 2010, we launched a new concept to transform the banking experience. ActivoBank initiated a new stage of its existence materialized in a new, lighter image and in the offer of innovative products and services.
We opened 16 state of the art spaces in Aveiro, Braga, Cascais, Coimbra, Leiria, Lisboa, Matosinhos, Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, with extended work hours from Monday to Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

We redesigned our services in a way that you only pay for what you use and identify the specific benefits that are presented to you, all in a clear and transparent manner.

We did our best to simplify our branches' operational procedures, reduce the use of paper as much as we could, invest in technology to speed up processes and simplify our Customers'life.
