In this Bitalk we'll talk about banking, investment, crypto, and ambition with António Henriques, CEO of Bison Bank. Is it true that you don't need to understand banking to lead a bank? 😱🤔 Do banks live off our fees? 💸🏦 Is Portugal wasting its greatest asset? 🇵🇹⚡ Will traditional banking survive cryptocurrencies? 🪙🚀 Will the future of money be entirely within the cell phone? 📱🪙 Has the Golden Visa brought wealth or problems to Portugal? 🏠🌍 Is it possible to create a global Portuguese bank from Portugal? 🚀🇵🇹 António Henriques is the CEO of Bison Bank and one of the most relevant figures in the new Portuguese banking landscape. Born in Angola, he grew up in a village in the interior of Guarda and built his career without coming from a wealthy family or one linked to the financial sector. Today he leads a bank with a strong international presence, focused on investments, private banking, and digital assets. His career began at Millennium BCP as an administrator, earning around 550 euros per month. From an early age, he set a very clear goal: to become CEO before the age of 50. He worked at Banif during one of the most difficult periods in Portuguese banking and ended up achieving his goal by taking over the leadership of Bison Bank at 50 years and 1 month old. In recent years, Bison Bank has stood out for its accelerated growth, its focus on the crypto universe, and the presence of clients from more than 130 nationalities, mostly from the United States. António Henriques defends professional ambition, believes that Portugal should sell stability to the world, and has been one of the most open voices to financial innovation in Portugal.
