Bank Accounts Map (Mapa de Contas Bancárias)

Map from the Bank of Portugal (Banco de Portugal) listing the accounts associated with you and the capacity in which you appear on each. It does not show balances.

What it is for

Get an overview of the accounts registered in your name or on which you are authorised.
Discover old accounts that need clarifying.
Prepare information requests to banks.

Example (fictitious). Titus Gorila finds an account on the map that he had forgotten about. He contacts the bank to find out its status, rather than assuming there is money in it.

What it is

The Accounts Database Map (Mapa da Base de Dados de Contas) lists the accounts reported to the Bank of Portugal (Banco de Portugal) and the link between the person making the enquiry and each one. It may include accounts you hold or on which you are authorised to operate. It is not a bank statement: it does not show balances, transactions or available funds. Check the capacity in which you appear on each account before assuming they are all yours.

How we collect it

The Bank of Portugal (Banco de Portugal) uses Tax and Customs Authority (Finanças) authentication, so we need the holder's NIF and Tax Portal (Portal das Finanças) password. We deliver the map as an official PDF.

Access required: Tax Portal (Portal das Finanças). Credentials are encrypted only during the collection and deleted at the end.

Things to note

For balances and transactions, you must request statements from the institution. If you do not recognise an entry, clarify it with that institution.

Frequently asked questions

Does the map tell me how much money I have?

No. It identifies accounts and your link to each one, without balances or transactions.

Does being associated with an account mean all the money is mine?

No. You may appear in another capacity, for example as a person authorised to operate the account.
