CaixaBank's head offices in Barcelona. 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 Tracking the Equator Principles campaign.
In 2021 Bankia merged with CaixaBank to create a new entity but preservering the name of the latter.
