Corporate culture

CaixaBank's corporate culture places people - the professionals who work at the bank, clients, and society - at its centre, and fosters a collaborative, agile way of working.

The organisation builds this personality through the impressions made by all the people who work in it, through the way we are and the way we work. All this is influenced by the bank's history, values, policies, and organisational practices.

We are a bank with a corporate culture founded on three pillars:

  • People come first
  • Collaboration is our strength
  • Agility is our attitude

People come first

CaixaBank is much more than a leading bank; it's an organisation made up of people who work every day for people, whether our colleagues, our clients, our shareholders or society in general.

Active listening

For us it is essential to create a pleasant working environment, where people and teams feel happy and motivated. To do this, we promote active listening and include their opinions and suggestions in our action plans to adapt to their needs.



We regularly assess the workforce/employee climate, people experience and the quality of our services in order to achieve the best possible working environment.
