To mark this milestone, the APB will host a conference titled “40 Years of APB: The Role of Banking in Socioeconomic Development”, taking place on October 15th at SUD Lisboa.

For 10 years now, the banking sector has been joining forces across Europe to promote financial literacy! And this year will be no different!
