Caixa Geral de Depósitos (CGD) was founded in 1876. CGD, constantly encourages a close and rigorous relationship with its customers – particularly companies – in the market and Portuguese society in general, building opportunities for economic growth and supporting the international expansion of companies and national talent, strengthening long-term relationships and establishing its presence in the life cycle of Portuguese families; supporting social development through principles associated with a healthy and culturally enriched life, with a community conscience and social and environmental responsibility practices, together with safe and responsible financial management.

Thanks to a strong culture, based on the highest ethical standards, on rigour and professionalism, but also on an attitude of permanent readiness for change, CGD is today the base of a modern financial group, prepared to satisfy the needs and expectations of millions of customers, and to respond to the challenges of market globalisation.

The solidity and stability of its financial status is CGD’s most characteristic corporate feature, demonstrating its recognised capacity to increase volume of business and results, even in stages in which the domestic economy has fared less successfully.

CGD Group is committed to its international business, as a strategic pillar of its sustained growth and, no less importantly, its leading role in the recovery and internationalization of the Portuguese economy. It’s extensive international network, comprising 23 countries and embracing 4 continents, is one of the most valuable assets in terms of the Group's development of a sustainable growth strategy.
