the startup gets distribution before

WELCOME to the 2020 Portuguese Fintech Landscape Guide.
We have been doing this guide since 2017 and
since then we have been searching the Portuguese
ecosystem for new fintech companies and for new
projects in the fintech area.
Since 2017 many companies have appeared
and many others have disappeared, as in any
ecosystem; it’s moving, and that’s good. Founders have
success, and founders fail, and they move on, applying
the knowledge they earn, in new projects.
The #fintechPortugal project, that started in
2015, is also changing. The first idea was to create an
association, but we would like to be more one-2-one,
less political and more practical, we didn’t want to be
limited to the usual limited partners of an association,
we wanted to be more global, and our ecosystem was
very small. So, we decided to move on as a consulting
company. Using social networks like facebook,
linkedin, twitter, youtube and Instagram, we have
been promoting #fintechPortugal and Portuguese
fintech startups to the world and to international
investors and fintech ecosystems.
Since 2017 the Portuguese Fintech Landscape
Guide, and the Portuguese Fintech Map have been
downloaded thousands of times, from people all
around the world.
We have also been using our social media
pages to share news and opinion articles from the
diverse ecosystems around the world. We try to give,
what we think is, valuable information for our fintech
founders, such as, use cases, trends, events, and
whatever we think can help to develop our ecosystem.
In 2019 we partnered with HubIn and the
Spanish incubator ABanca Innova. 20 Portuguese
fintech companies went to ABanca headquarters in
Lisbon to promote their projects and 5 were selected
to go to Spain and participate in a bootcamp where
they met several ABanca department leaders that
evaluated the projects and gave their feedback. Finally,
2 Portuguese fintechs were selected to do a POC (proof
of concept) in ABanca Innovation hub. And for 2020 a
new batch is coming.
For us, our 2020 quarantine, also gave birth to
a new project, FTP fintech.partners, we will write about
it in a later chapter
As we all know 2020 has been a year to
remember. We are going through events that some
generations never thought they would experience in
their lifetime. And these events are changing us as
individuals and also the institutions that are part of our
society. As Bob Dylan once said, “the times they are a-
changin´”, and they are, and in so many different
dimensions.
Let’s hope that fintech and technology can
take is part in this change for good, and that we all
can also be a part of it, by going the extra mile, by
taking chances and by making things happen, for the
benefit of all.

Since 2015 we have been working under the brand #fintechPortugal, and we will continue to do so through
social media, promoting our work and distributing news for Portuguese fintech founders. Beginning in 2020 our
consulting services will be developed through the FTP fintech.partners brand.
From the start, one of our mottos was #givefirst. The act of helping without expecting nothing in return. In
order to give before you get, we must adopt a philosophy of helping others without an expectation of what we are
going to get back. It’s not altruistic - we do expect to get things in return - but we don’t set up the relationship to be
a transactional one. And this motto will live forever in our actions.
While the mission of #fintechPortugal is “Connecting Globally, Acting Locally” with FTP fintech.partners we
have the mission to empower the partnership and we adopted the African proverb “If You Want To Go Fast, Go
Alone. If You Want To Go Far, Go Together.”
.
CONNECTING GLOBALLY, ACTING LOCALLY IF YOU WANT TO GO FAST, GO ALONE.
IF YOU WANT TO GO FAR, GO TOGETHER
There are many dimensions to the power of partnerships. We do believe that it’s the best way to grow,
particularly in a small country like Portugal.
Since the beginning, the duality of banks and fintechs, was mainly attributed to rivalry. Fintechs wanted to
replace banks and banks saw fintechs as a menace. Recently they realized that the partnership model is the best
business model for both entities. Partnerships are a win-win combination, when both parties have common goals
and complement each other. But there is much more to talk about partnerships for both entities.
That’s the mission of FTP fintech.partners.

ABANCA Innova
ABANCA Innova is a vertical program for startups that offers participating projects a support package
designed to provide management knowledge, resources and materials to grow your Startup. In addition, among the
startups selected for the program, the most interesting for the entity will be chosen for development and financing,
when appropriate, of a proof of concept at ABANCA. This proof of concept is a real test with the entity, in which the
Startup will see its idea materialized and will be able to show the value contribution of its proposal to the market.
The startups selected in the program will participate in a Bootcamp in which they will receive training and
resources through lectures and workshops with different industry experts. In addition, they will have visibility before
the most relevant people of the entity. During the process, startups will participate in closed and informal
conversations, called Cafés Fintech, with executives and employees of ABANCA, which will allow them to learn about
the functioning of the different areas.
Among these participating startups, those that are most related to the bank's business will be chosen and
will have the opportunity to validate their value proposition through the definition and implementation of a proof of
concept with the entity.
8. PORTUGUESE FINTECH LANDSCAPE 2020
ftp fintech . partners 8 / 5 0
During this pilot process, ABANCA will assign a corporate mentor to startups, relevant to its business area,
whose fundamental mission is the search for synergies between Startup and the company, to accompany them
during the definition and implementation of the proof of concept. Together with that person, startups can add non-
corporate mentors (references in entrepreneurship, investment, ... and other relevant ecosystem players) that will
offer them feedback. The ABANCA Innova team will conduct sessions with each elected Startup to monitor the
evolution of the implementation of the proof of concept and analyze the results obtained during the pilot.
ABANCA Innova offers the possibility of receiving direct capital investment. For that, startups can participate
in different Startup Days of the entity and participate in the main investment events of the national
entrepreneurship ecosystem. During the program, startups will have access to free services (perks), such as the use
of Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud or tools, among others, for digital marketing, communication, human or legal
resources.
Participating startups will have at their disposal the ABANCA Innova Innovation Center in A Coruña, a work
space and innovation space where they can live with ABANCA professionals and their entrepreneurship ecosystem. A
Coworking space that helps to generate an atmosphere of knowledge sharing and joint collaborations, enhancing the
synergies created in the space. In addition, ABANCA Innova organizes events and lectures in which it will meet
outstanding professionals with much to contribute.

ABANCA Innova 3rd Edition (2019)
The 3rd edition of the program, 1st in Portugal, started on November 13, 2019 with the presentation of the

Of these 20 startups, 5 were selected for the bootcamp to be carried out at the ABANCA facilities in A
Coruña.
The Bootcamp took place between 11 and 12 December 2019, and it included 4 Portuguese fintech startups,
who made their presentations and had a targeted mentoring program, presented by several bank specialists.

Check out one of the press releases from 2019 and some comments of the participants.
Let’s do some kissing first. O evento da ABANCA INNOVA excedeu as expectativas. Os encontros de startups
concentram-se muitas vezes a resolver desafios de ambição desmedida e em conversas estimulantes, com os heads
of innovation, mas inconsequentes. Desta vez foi diferente! Não é caso raro, mas é sempre de valorizar quando se
quer de facto trabalhar com as startups e promover um ambiente saudável de inovação. De facto, neste evento
estávamos nós, as startups, os responsáveis de negócio, os responsáveis de IT e especialistas internos na avaliação
de empresas e projetos. Estavam presentes os fornecedores, os clientes, os facilitadores e os financiadores. Todos
na mesma sala e a discutir ideias. E todos com o mesmo objetivo em mente: vamos promover pilotos e aprender
alguma coisa uns com os outros. Vamos namorar um pouco, conhecermo-nos um pouco melhor. O ambiente de
inovação não pode estar fora das organizações e correr em caminho paralelo. A inovação, sobretudo a inovação
incremental, nasce de parcerias consequentes."
Filipe Charters / Data-xl
Nos dias 11 e 12 de Dezembro ocorreu na Corunha, Espanha, um evento de inovação promovido pelo
banco espanhol, Abanca. O evento contou com a presença de representantes de diversas estruturas do banco,
assim como startups convidadas a apresentarem as suas soluções. Foi um evento muito bem organizado, onde
existia um espírito de compromisso e de missão para com o projeto de inovação. Os representantes das diversas
áreas de intervenção (Negócio, IT, Investimento, Inovação) demonstraram um conhecimento profundo das
soluções que as startups apresentaram, tendo promovido uma mentoria direcionada para que estas pudessem
chegar ao Case Study “Abanca” perfeito. Em Portugal, os programas deste tipo são escassos e os que existem (em
que tivemos o prazer de participar), aportam um nível menor de envolvimento e compromisso das entidades para
com as empresas que promovem soluções inovadoras, o que denota que, aparentemente, não existe uma cultura
de inovação, digitalização, progresso, nas instituições análogas com sede no nosso país."
Miguel Rangel / Invisible Collector
Opinião sobre o evento na Corunha O evento foi muito interessante no geral, o que mais teve impacto
a meu ver foi a possibilidade de networking e as 4 reuniões individuais com cada projeto. A vontade que o
banco tem em inovar e melhorar e largar para trás o passado obscuro de bancarrota é de louvar, tomara que
existisse este nível de preocupação nos bancos portugueses. Coisas que poderiam ser melhoradas: - O inglês
deles é muito fraco, muitas das vezes as reuniões eram melhores em português do que em inglês, para quem
vem da realidade Portuguesa é algo atípico. - Faltou um guia sobre o que se iria falar em cada uma das reuniões,
muitas das vezes tínhamos que ir apalpando terreno para perceber o que cada reunião esperava (e como
começávamos a falar em inglês muitas das vezes eles não percebiam e o feedback era difícil) Necessidade de
mais eventos destes em Portugal- Definitivamente, a nossa comunidade de fintech tem muita força mas falta
apoio (quer do governo, quer dos bancos) para que comece a fervilhar, eu assisti ao bootstrap do que se viu
no reino unido em 2014 e meetups, conferencias foi o que fez reunir muita malta e começar a criar o colosso
que hoje em dia vemos (Revolut, Monzo, etc). Alias uma das coisas mega importantes foi mesmo a criação do
Fintech.pt, a meu ver foi um dos momentos em que se viu alguém preocupado em criar união sobre este tema."

PORTUGUESE FINTECH LANDSCAPE GUIDE 2020
We made some changes regarding our last editions.
Now, we only show the photo, with link to LinkedIn profile, of the founder or the person in charge of the
company. As this is a Portuguese Fintech Guide, the person is always of Portuguese nationality, even if the
headquarters of the company are outside Portugal, or the founder is not the CEO. In previous editions we tried to
show all founders, but we found out it was difficult to maintain the information updated. If you click on the logo of
the company you have a link to its webpage.
Companies also change a lot. Some disappear, some change their logos, some merge, and many are created,
but we will try to keep it updated regularly. If you notice something that should be changed, please gives us that
information, we will appreciate it.
We kept the information about foundation date and headquarters and a small description of what they do.
Almost all the information came from LinkedIn or directly with the companies.
This year we also made a table of categories, and now, each company has a category number and
description; in case you want to find a particular fintech vertical or horizontal. This was no easy task as one startup
can be a part of more than one category, but we did our best.
In the last editions we made a Fintech Map, only with the logos of the companies. This time and since we
had them categorized, we created a Portuguese Fintech Radar, as you can see in the first pages. If you like it, please
help us promote it.
Enjoy.
