Nickel Portugal aims to reach 1,200 points of sale in the medium term and reach places where banks no longer go

SAPO Notícias9 September 2026 at 07:30

The company Nickel Portugal announced plans to reach one thousand two hundred points of sale in the medium term, consolidating its presence in the Portuguese market. The company's strategy involves positioning itself in territories where traditional banking presence has been declining.

The CEO of Nickel Portugal recognizes that the withdrawal of banks from certain areas represents a market opportunity that the company intends to exploit. This gap left by the traditional banking sector is seen as favorable territory for the company's expansion.

In the country's most isolated territories, the executive suggests that a partnership between the public and private sectors may be the most appropriate solution to ensure access to financial services. This approach would cover areas that currently lack banking services.

War between Rede Expressos and FlixBus affects Lisbon connections

The legal conflict between Rede Expressos and FlixBus over access to the Sete Rios terminal in Lisbon has intensified, with the German carrier accusing the Portuguese rival of blocking compliance with a court ruling from March 2026 that ordered its access to the station. Rede Expressos denies the accusations, classifying them as "false and defamatory," and maintains that the terminal has reached its physical capacity, making it impossible to allocate the 96 daily schedules sought by FlixBus. Faced with the impasse, the German company has moved forward with an enforcement action of the ruling and a criminal complaint against those responsible for managing the facility, while users await a resolution that balances commercial competition with the safe operation of a key node of mobility in Lisbon.

SAD do Benfica achieves profit of…

Benfica's SAD achieved a net profit of 19.1 million euros in the 2025/26 financial year, the second consecutive year with positive results, although below the 34.4 million from the previous year. The growth in recurring revenue, the control of operational expenses, and the favorable evolution of player rights explain the performance. Equity capital strengthened to 135.5 million euros, while the operating result stood at 32.4 million. Excluding the player rights component, operating revenue reached 214.4 million euros, a 7% decline justified by the absence of extraordinary Club World Cup revenue.
