At these ATMs, you can withdraw money, pay bills, transfer money, top up your Portuguese mobile phone and make payments to Social Security and Tax department.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">Banks are open from 8:30 till 15:00 Monday to Friday. Some banks may stay open till 16:00. You might find that your bank is also available on Saturday mornings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">ATM fees are free if you are using a Portuguese card. If you are using a foreign card, the fee can be high. Also, Multibanco ATMs usually only allow withdrawals of 200 euros.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The International Banks in Portugal<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.abanca.pt\/pt\/\">Abanca<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investmentbank.barclays.com\/contact-us\/pt.html\">Barclays<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbva.pt\/pessoas.html\">BBVA<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bnpparibas.pt\/en\/\">BNP Paribas<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\">Citibank<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\">\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Private banks in Portugal<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bancobest.pt\/ptg\/HomePage\">Banco Best<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurobic.pt\/\">Banco BIC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bancobpi.pt\/en\/retail\">Banco BPI<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ind.millenniumbcp.pt\/pt\/particulares\/Pages\/Welcome.aspx\">Millennium BCP<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\">Novobanco<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.santander.pt\/\">Santander Totta<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Bank Services<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">Portuguese banks offer the same services that you are used to from your home bank.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\">Standard savings accounts, student accounts, credit card options, Expat services<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\">Personal loans<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\">Mortgages<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\">Investment accounts<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\">Insurance<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\">Digital and online banking.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\">Mobile banking by downloading the app<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\">Business bank accounts<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"western\">International Money Transfers<\/h2>\n<p class=\"western\">These days international money transfers are simple and cheaper if you use one of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wise.com\/es?adref=&amp;clickref=1011lgGEFSRo&amp;partnerID=1100l42149&amp;partnerizecampaignID=1101l644&amp;utm_campaign=0&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_source=internationals\">Wise<\/a> (formerly Transferwise)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldremit.com\/en?awc=5877_1619945291_1c291703e04d3ef0329bfed06bf9fe13&amp;utm_medium=affiliates&amp;utm_source=afiliatewindow_uk&amp;utm_campaign=activation&amp;utm_content=0&amp;utm_term=666995\">World Remit<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.remitly.com\/us\/en?irclickid=zYORbOWIrxyLW0W0EOSREQreUkBxhYyZkx-4xA0&amp;af_sub1=ExpaticaInternational&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_source=impactradius&amp;irgwc=1\">Remitly<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\">CurrencyFair<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Are Portuguese bank accounts safe?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">Yes.
