Euromoney Awards 2024

• CaixaBank has received this award for the ninth time in the last 13 years, consolidating its leadership in the Spanish market and recognising its commitment to innovation and sustainability

CaixaBank has once again confirmed its leadership in the Spanish market by winning three awards at the Awards for Excellence organised by the international finance publication, Euromoney, which awards these prizes every year after an exhaustive process of research and data analysis of the nominations submitted.

In 2024, CaixaBank won the main prize for 'Best Bank in Spain' for the fourth time in a row and the ninth time in the last 13 years. CaixaBank was also recognised as 'Best Bank for ESG in Spain' and 'Best Digital Bank in Spain'.

The jury selected CaixaBank for its benchmark position in banking services in Spain, as well as for its leadership in innovation and sustainability.

Euromoney recognises CaixaBank's work in the areas of innovation and sustainability

Winning these three awards shows that CaixaBank is not only the leading bank in Spain in terms of market share, but also a European benchmark in terms of digitalisation and sustainability. For example, in 2023 CaixaBank was the leader in sustainable finance in Europe. And 2024 has seen further recognition for their pioneering work in designing innovative banking products and services.

The Chairman of CaixaBank, José Ignacio Goirigolzarri, stressed that "these awards reinforce CaixaBank's strategic lines and the bank's core value: our way of understanding the business from a very different way of banking, one that is very inclusive and close to families and companies”.

Goirigolzarri also pointed out that CaixaBank's continued success in receiving these awards reflects "the commitment of each and every one of the people who make up the great team at CaixaBank, a key factor that differentiates excellent entities from those that are not, and a fundamental part of the bank's growth to its current leading position in Spain".

The bank's Chief Executive, Gonzalo Gortázar, also expressed his satisfaction at receiving these awards, stating that "CaixaBank has a solid business model that has allowed it to establish itself as a benchmark bank in Spain and to face the challenges of the future from a position of strength".

Gortázar underscored this point, stating, "we are living through a technological and digital revolution that is transforming the way we relate to each other and the way we do things, and at CaixaBank we are ready to adapt to these new times, lead them and contribute to the progress of society as a whole".

Adapting the bank's customer service model to the preferences of customers and society and promoting sustainable finance were two of the pillars of CaixaBank's Strategic Plan 2022-2024, and these awards are the final stage of a roadmap that will continue to evolve in the coming years.

BPI also consolidates its leadership in Portugal

In addition to the awards won by CaixaBank, BPI also received three awards that highlight its work in Portugal and underline the excellence of the CaixaBank Group.

The Portuguese bank won the awards for 'Best Bank in Portugal', 'Best Bank for SMEs in Portugal' and 'Best Digital Bank in Portugal'. In the case of BPI, this is the third time in its history that it has won the award for Best Bank in Portugal.

The Chief Executive Officer of BPI, João Pedro Oliveira e Costa, stressed that these awards "are an incentive to continue to grow and improve the service we offer our customers every day. We want to continue to consolidate BPI as a benchmark in SME banking in Portugal, as it is already in digital banking, and continue to maintain a leading position in advising our customers and in best financial practices".
