BPCE, the French banking group and owner of Novobanco, has confirmed plans to establish a Natixis-branded skills center in Lisbon’s Moscavide district, near Oriente Station. Scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2026, the new hub will complement the Porto center launched in 2017, which today employs 3,000 people of 46 nationalities.
Recruitment has already begun, with positions in information technology, investment banking, risk, and innovation aimed at attracting both young talent and experienced professionals. BPCE highlights that Lisbon’s proximity to Portugal’s technology and financial ecosystems offers a strategic advantage for growth.
Etienne Huret, CEO of Natixis in Portugal, stated: “Lisbon is a vibrant, multicultural, and dynamic city—qualities that reflect our identity. This new space will not only be a hub of expertise but also a meeting point where technology, banking, and innovation intersect to accelerate transformation in the financial sector.”
With two hubs under unified management in Porto and Lisbon, Natixis aims to strengthen its footprint in Portugal while expanding the reach of Groupe BPCE, which acquired Novobanco just three months ago.
