CTT: More Than Just Mail

The Portuguese Post Office (CTT) acts as a secondary bank and administrative center. You can pay highway tolls, buy government savings bonds (Certificados de Aforro), and even purchase health insurance there.

CTT Bank is also a popular option for retirees due to its low fees and physical presence in almost every town. If you receive a registered letter notice, you must usually pick it up at the specific CTT branch listed on the slip.
