CTT – Correios de Portugal, S.A. is the national postal operator of Portugal, offering a comprehensive range of mail and parcel delivery services to individual and corporate customers. The company’s core activities include the collection, sorting and distribution of letters, direct mail and parcels both domestically and through an extensive international network. CTT also provides express courier solutions, specialized logistics for e-commerce, and value-added services such as registered mail and postal insurance.
In addition to its traditional postal operations, CTT has expanded into financial services under the brand “Banco CTT,” offering savings accounts, payment cards, transfers and money-remittance services. The company’s network of post offices also serves as points of sale for insurance products, bill collection and prepaid services. CTT’s philatelic division markets commemorative stamps and collectibles, catering to both domestic and international hobbyists.
CTT traces its origins to the 16th century, when a royal postal system was established to facilitate communication across the Portuguese realms. The modern corporate entity was formed in the late 20th century as part of a restructuring of state services, and it completed its initial public offering on Euronext Lisbon in 2013. Since then, CTT has pursued digital transformation initiatives, investing in automation and online platforms to improve operational efficiency and customer experience.
Headquartered in Lisbon, CTT operates a nationwide network of branches and distribution centers, supported by a network of international partners. Governed by a board of directors and overseen by Portuguese regulatory authorities, the company is led by a senior management team focused on innovation, sustainability and service quality in the evolving postal and logistics sector.
