Itaú Bank concentrates operations in Luxembourg and aims to increase business between Europe and Brazil

SAPO Notícias15 September 2026 at 11:16

Itaú Bank is concentrating its operations in Europe through Luxembourg, now operating in Portugal through a branch of Itaú Europe, which is the group's European company.

The strategy is part of the bank's plan to expand its business between Europe and Brazil, strengthening its presence on the European continent.

The change reorganizes Itaú's operational structure in the European market, positioning Luxembourg as the central headquarters for the group's operations in the region.

Why this matters

This change affects clients and companies in Portugal seeking Brazilian banking services, and represents a strategic move by Itaú to consolidate its European presence from Luxembourg, facilitating cross-border financial operations between the two markets.
