Employees have departed due to early retirements and mutually agreed resignations, as indicated by internal information.
In January, when announcing record-breaking profits of 588 million euros for 2024, the CEO of BPI stated that the bank has been facilitating exits for older staff members (over the age of 55) through agreements and retirement plans, while simultaneously hiring younger professionals (primarily under 30 years old).
João Pedro Oliveira e Costa noted that in 2024, the company recruited 225 new employees.
BPI had a workforce of 4,234 at the end of last year, a reduction of 29 employees compared to 2023.
Also in 2024, the bank incurred expenses amounting to 4.48 million euros related to senior executives who left their positions (with approximately 900,000 euros payable within this year).
Regarding compensation, the annual report mentions that in 2024 “there was one employee whose total remuneration ranged between 1.0 million euros and 1.5 million euros.”
According to the remuneration table for the board members, this pertains to the CEO, who received nearly 1.002 million euros, combining both fixed and variable compensation components.
