    About

    CaixaBank operates as a major Spanish financial institution with its headquarters in Valencia and significant operational centers in Barcelona and Madrid. The company emerged in 2011 from the merger of Caixa de Catalunya and Caja Madrid, building upon the legacy of Criteria CaixaCorp to become the third-largest lender in Spain by market value behind Banco Santander and BBVA.

    The bank serves approximately 15.8 million customers through an extensive physical network comprising 5,397 branches, which remains the largest in the country. Alongside this traditional reach, the institution drives digital adoption through the CaixaBankNow mobile application, allowing users to manage accounts and transactions remotely.
