Every story has a beginning

Ours began in 1833.

It all began when Portugal was in the throes of civil war in 1833 and shortly after the Napoleonic invasions. Born in one of the most troubled periods of Portuguese history, Banco Carregosa was a pioneer of a new generation of financial institutions, which we now know as Private Banking.

Since then, we have lived through some of the most troubled periods in Portuguese history, throughout which we have always sought to create stability for our customers. Today, almost 200 years later, our strategy is aimed at continuity, stability and sustainability to give our clients lasting benefits.

History has taught us the importance of this train of thought. To ensure the long-term prosperity of our clients we need to protect the interests of future generations.
