From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Not to be confused with the Bank of the Holy Spirit, founded in 1605.
Banco Espírito Santo (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈbɐ̃ku (ɨ)ʃˈpiɾitu ˈsɐ̃tu]), officially the Banco Espírito Santo e Comercial de Lisboa, known by the acronym BES, is a bank based in Lisbon, Portugal, and was founded in 1920. It is listed on the Euronext 100 index.
"Espírito Santo" is a Portuguese language term for Holy Spirit, or as it is more commonly translated, Holy Ghost. In this case, however, it refers to the surname of company's founder (and family).
[edit] Operations
Along with its Azorean, Brazilian and Angolan subsidiaries, the BES is part of the Espírito Santo Financial Group, or ESFG.
