  "account": "Banca March is expanding its private banking services to Portugal, targeting clients with assets of €500,000 or more. The bank will open a business centre in Lisbon in early 2027 and will also offer wealth management services to clients with assets of €3 million or more, as well as services to companies. This move is part of Banca March's internationalization process, which also includes a new subsidiary in Luxembourg that obtained a banking license. The Luxembourg subsidiary will serve as a hub for Banca March's growth in Portugal and potentially other countries. The bank is open to making acquisitions to accelerate its growth outside of Spain.",
  "summary": "The bank will operate in Portugal to advise private banking clients with assets of 500,000 euros. It does not rule out making acquisitions to accelerate growth.",
