About CaixaBank
CaixaBank's (former) head offices in Barcelona (moved in 2017 to Valencia). Photo: Jordiferrer via Wikimedia (CC BY-SA 3.0)CaixaBank was founded in 1980, and is a leading Spanish retail bank. The bank operates through three segments: banking and insurance, real estate activity, and investments. With the mergers and takeovers of Banca Cívica and Banco de Valencia, and the retail banking, wealth management and corporate banking businesses of Barclays in Spain, CaixaBank has extended its share of the Spanish financial market. CaixaBank signed the Equator Principles in March 2007, and is therefore part of BankTrack's Equator Principles Track and Chase project.
