Banif Financial Group (Portuguese: Banif – Grupo Financeiro) is a state-owned Portuguese international financial services group based around the bank Banco Internacional do Funchal. The company has a presence in Europe, South America, North America, Africa and Asia.
Banif was founded and incorporated by Horácio Roque on 15 January 1988 and took over all of the assets and liabilities of the defunct Caixa Económica do Funchal. In 1995, it opened offices in Caracas, Venezuela and South Africa; in 1996 in São Paulo, Brazil; and in 2008 in San Ġiljan, Malta. Due to the Portuguese sovereign debt and banking crisis, Banif was one among a number of Portuguese banks which were nationalized in order to be rescued by the government.
