conta à ordem
An ordinary current account. To open one you will be asked for a NIF, a passport, a comprovativo de morada and proof of income or employment. Many accounts have a monthly maintenance fee.
Where you come across it. The first weeks after arriving.
There is also the conta de serviços mínimos bancários, a basic account with a capped fee; branches do not usually mention it unless asked.
