Portuguese wealth and investment bank serving HNWIs and institutions
Bison Bank is a 20+ year-old Portuguese bank focused on wealth management, custody, and investment banking for high-net-worth individuals and institutional clients. The tech stack—Excel, Power BI, SQL, Python, VBA—reveals a manual, spreadsheet-driven operation typical of traditional banking; the active project list (OKR/KPI dashboards, automation initiatives, operational digitalization) and pain-point pattern (compliance checks, bottleneck identification, workflow redesign) signal ongoing pressure to modernize and reduce operational friction. Hiring velocity is accelerating but centered on junior and mid-level roles in ops and finance, not engineering capacity—suggesting incremental tooling improvements rather than platform transformation.
Bison Bank operates as a wealth and investment manager for high-net-worth and institutional clients in Europe, with cross-border market linkage and a partner network extending beyond the continent. Based in Lisbon, the bank holds registration 63 with the Bank of Portugal and employs 51–200 people. Core service lines include wealth management, custody and depositary services, and investment banking advisory. The organization has received Great Place to Work® certification for two consecutive years, indicating internal culture focus. Current operations center on portfolio management, compliance oversight, and supervisory procedures, with ongoing projects to build executive dashboards and automation tools for operational efficiency.
