:"Not to be confused with the Bank of the Holy Spirit, founded in 1605."Banco Espírito Santo, whose official name is Banco Espírito Santo e Comercial de Lisboa, and which is known by the acronym BES, is a bank based in Lisbon, Portugal, and was founded in 1920. It is listed on the Euronext 100 index.

"Espírito Santo" is a Portuguese language term for Holy Spirit, or as it is more commonly translated, Holy Ghost. In this case, however, it refers to the surname of company's founder (and family).

The International Phonetic Alphabet spelling of the name of the bank is IPA2|'bɐ̃ku (ɨ)ʃ'piɾitu 'sɐ̃tu.
