BBVA Technology, created by the bank at the end of 2023, is making the leap into Latin America. The new technology division will be based in Mexico, under the name “BBVA Technology en América”.
The new organization is the result of a merger of several technology companies previously under the umbrella of BBVA Axial Tech. Now with almost 600 employees, these units will make up “BBVA Technology en América”. The new technology division will continue to strengthen its strategic role contributing to the BBVA Group’s digital transformation goals.
The expansion of BBVA Technology on both continents will increase the visibility of the brand in the coming years. In Europe, BBVA Technology operates from Spain, with headquarters in Madrid, Bilbao and Barcelona.
In the Americas, from its headquarters in Mexico City, the company will provide technology services to BBVA companies in Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. In both cases, the commitment to skilled talent to support BBVA’s digital transformation will continue to provide an attractive value proposition for employees, enhancing satisfaction and loyalty among current teams.
This strategic change and the operational scope of the two geographic areas led to the appointment of Ricardo Jurado as CEO of BBVA Technology in Europe, while Robert Altes, former CEO of BBVA Axial Tech, will be CEO of “BBVA Technology en América ». This will provide continuity to the value proposition of the BBVA Technology brand in the key markets where the Bank operates.
