Another mid-career fintech exec admitted to HQA program

A third C-level executive from the financial services sector has joined the HQA program since the global health crisis shut borders worldwide.

Demand has notably increased from mid-career professionals seeking a safer place of residence for their families. HQA permit holders can extend residency eligibility to three generations of their immediate family.

The proposed venture aims to purchase an international bank and pair it with a state-of-the-art mobile-optimised micro-investing platform, by leveraging the fintech exec’s existing business activities abroad.

Portugal enjoys a robust but consolidated banking sector and a dynamic but feature-focused fintech ecosystem, presenting a strong opportunity for a savvy alternative bank to establish a foothold in the EU.
