Abstract: Strategically positioned between Europe, Africa and America, Portugal has an attractive and modern financial system. The Portuguese carry the least cash of all European citizens and use debit cards frequently. The Portuguese retail payments market is still dominated by the local payment system, Multibanco. Multibanco is a payment brand that belongs to SIBS, a large-scale payments specialist operating a payment infrastructure shared by all Portuguese banks. BNI Europa is a challenger bank providing niche products in several segments. In this interview, Pedro Coelho talks about the specifics of the Portuguese retail payments industry, the way BNI Europa entered the market as a branchless bank, and his expectations regarding further developments in the retail payments market.
