BBVA has been investing in the digital transformation of banking for over 10 years. However, this is a broad concept that requires activating different levers to make it accessible. Design has been one of the key levers on which the group firmly bet since 2016.
Currently, the bank has a team of more than 240 designers in 8 countries around the world. This team works every day to understand and analyze people's needs, conceptualize, prototype, and deliver relevant products and services.
