Business model

CaixaBank is a financial group with a socially responsible universal banking model and a long-term outlook that is based on quality, customer engagement and specialisation.

It offers a value proposition of products and services adapted for each sector, adopting innovation as a strategic challenge and a distinguishing feature of its corporate culture, and whose leading position in retail banking in Spain makes it a key player in supporting sustainable economic growth.

CaixaBank offers its customers the best tools and expert advice to make decisions and develop habits that form the basis of financial well-being. This enables them, for example, to appropriately plan to address recurring expenses, cover unforeseen events, maintain purchasing power during retirement or make their dreams and projects come true.

Besides contributing to our customers' financial well-being, our purpose is to support the progress of society as a whole. We are a deeply rooted retail bank in all the areas in which we work, and for this reason, we feel a part of the progress of the communities where we engage our business.

CaixaBank is the consumer bank of choice in Spain, as reflected by the market share it holds across key products. At the end of 2023, CaixaBank had a market share of 23.4% in loans (households and companies), 23.5% in loans to companies, 24.5% in deposits, 23.8% in mutual funds and 34.1% in pension plans.
