Summary
BBVA has renewed its service model for mid-sized companies, which account for nearly 60% of the portfolio of its Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB) division. The bank is integrating artificial intelligence tools to strengthen advisory and risk analysis, freeing up time for relationship managers to support clients' decisions, according to a company press release. The project is built around six areas, including segmentation, risk and credit, and digital and AI capabilities. Jaime Sáenz de Tejada, global head of CIB, states that technology should simplify day-to-day operations while human attention focuses on the most complex needs. BBVA is also developing mechanisms to speed up credit approval, such as pre-approved loans and fast-track approval workflows.
