Indosuez Wealth Management, opens a branch in Portugal

Lisbon, 19 March 2024 - As part of the expansion of its activities into new European markets, Indosuez Wealth Management has strengthened its presence in the Iberian Peninsula by opening a branch in Lisbon.

March 19, 2024

Located at Avenida da Liberdade 190 2ºB, the branch will comprise nine employees (private bankers, advisors and commercial assistants) and will support family offices, large families, entrepreneurs and expatriates living in Portugal with personalized advice, a cutting-edge international offer, and a wide range of creative solutions developed by Indosuez's experts.
Indosuez’s presence in Portugal will promote synergies with the Crédit Agricole group’s entities, such as Crédit Agricole CIB, Credibom (CA Consumer Finance), Eurofactor (a Crédit Agricole Leasing & Factoring brand) and MUDUM (insurance), and will strengthen Crédit Agricole’s life insurance offering in this market.
This new step reinforces Indosuez’s position as a pan-European leader in wealth management and fully aligns with the Bank’s strategy to be as close as possible to its clients.
