Banco Internacional de São Tomé e Príncipe

(The government had created National Bank of São Tomé and Príncipe in 1975 out of the branch of Banco Nacional Ultramarino.

The bank, therefore, in a sense can trace its history back to Banco Nacional Utlramarino's entry in 1868.)

The Portuguese bank, Caixa Geral de Depósitos, which had acquired Banco Nacional Ultramarino in 1988, merged with it fully in 2001.

In 2000, Banco Santander acquired Banco Totta e Açores and disposed of its interest in BISTP to Caixa Geral de Depósitos, which now owns 52% of BISTP.

[2] In 2009, it had announced that the banking services started to offer online under the name BISTP KWA Non[3]
