Today we celebrate being Top Employer 2026, an international recognition that reflects our commitment to people and our way of doing things: creating an environment where everyone wants to stay, develop, and grow.
With this certification, we once again strengthen our employee value proposition, built on what matters most: putting our people at the center.
A recognition of our excellence in people management
For the third consecutive edition, we have been certified as a Top Employer, a global audit process that validates our excellence in people management and drives continuous improvement, aligning our policies with the best market practices and consolidating our ambition: to be the best bank to work for in Spain.
“Being recognized as Top Employer 2026 is not just a badge; it reflects who we are. Top Employer unites us: it unites our way of working, how we support each other, our passion for doing things well, and, above all, for doing them as a team. Every day we show that we deserve to work in the best place, where people matter, where growth is a real opportunity, and where excellence is not a goal: it’s our way of being. We are very Top. Everyone.”
Cristina Llanas, Director of People Experience
