Alexander

Cascais, Apr 2025

I’m very appreciative for the team for all the help and support during our relocation and immigration process. We had a lot of complimentary questions around banking and investments, starting with some tax questions and dealing with banks, and they made it very personalized for the whole situation together. Everything was on time, they keep supporting us and it’s basically my number one phone number when I have some question about something. Price felt average on the market and not the main point for us, and overall very helpful over a long period and across a wide range of questions.

Review of Eli, May 2025

I initially tried for two years to open a bank account on my own, and the bank I was working with never responded. Seeking help was the best decision because their communication was fantastic and they always delivered on their promises. I appreciated their reliability and the peace of mind they provided, especially in contrast to my previous experience.

I hired Eli to help me establish in Portugal with my family - support around the residency legislation, acquiring documents, and setting up banking and other local stuff. He was very involved personally and present throughout, very, very knowledgeable about the nuances, and a good connector who put me in touch with people that helped further; we spoke Russian between us and English with the banks, and he is more than fluent. He advised me on taxation, legislation, and how to look at potential commercial activities in Portugal for entrepreneurs working worldwide. The fee and stages were transparent with no surprises, and pricing felt pretty reasonable to me.

Frequently Asked Questions

What expats want to know before hiring investment bankers in Lisbon.

Are there English-speaking investment bankers in Lisbon?
Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.
What should I check before hiring investment bankers in Lisbon?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.
What should I avoid when hiring investment bankers in Lisbon?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I explain what I need if my Portuguese is limited?
A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.
How do you say investment bankers in Portuguese?
In Portuguese, investment bankers are usually called banqueiros de investimento. That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.
How do I find investment bankers I can trust in Lisbon?
Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real expat experience, not who paid the most.
