About Crédito Agrícola

Crédito Agrícola is the only Portuguese cooperative financial group. Its genesis is rooted in the agricultural sector, but its evolution has transformed it into a universal financial and insurance group with a practice of proximity and relationship with people, with a strong mark of trust. Its specific characteristics of decentralization of competences, through the Agricultural Banks holding a vast network of Agencies that operate in market niches, contribute actively to counter the centripetal force of the Portuguese population's coastal settlement, with a dual capacity for job creation. The strength of solidarity among the institutions that compose it guarantees cohesion to the Group, which is transmitted to society and promotes the development of the interior of the country, using the capillarity of the largest national banking network, continuing to offer where others find difficulties. Our social responsibility goes beyond business motivations. The Group's liquidity and solvency, along with trust, are factors that we preserve and constitute our main daily references to guarantee stability and the provision of quality service. Technological evolution and people's capacity to use it in their banking operations are transforming the sector and rapidly changing the business model. Crédito Agrícola sees in this technological evolution an opportunity to include in its markets and strongly bets on solutions that mitigate people's relocation and the effects of centrality, equipping the Group with simple and innovative solutions capable of responding to the needs of its Clients, whom it treats as partners. Crédito Agrícola has been recognized by the market as one of the best banks operating in the Portuguese market. We want to continue modernizing to serve you better. For all these reasons, we are “The National Bank with a local accent”.
