SAN DIEGO — BBVA Compass is boosting its greater San Diego commercial banking team with three new relationship managers, San Diego Market President Roger Zucchet announced today, a move that reflects the bank’s strong focus on building its brand in California.

Rewarding, simple and secure. All apt descriptors of the new BBVA Compass Rewards Card, the newest credit card offering from the U.S. subsidiary of the global financial services group BBVA. Available today, the new credit card offers rewards to customers for every purchase they make, with no cap on earnings, and boasts an easy to understand rewards structure that earns 1.5 percent in rewards for every $1 spent across all categories, and the ability to garner 2 percent in rewards with a qualifying bank relationship.

Francisco González, Group Executive Chairman

• Transformation: “We’ve reached a digital tipping point. In six countries more than 50 percent of customers are digital”

• Principles: “We’ve gone through a deep financial crisis and BBVA emerged from it with a very strong reputation”

Carlos Torres Vila, CEO

• Evaluation: “In 2017 we accelerated our transformation, making great strides in the digitization of our business with a huge impact in terms of sales and customer loyalty and satisfaction”

Moments before the start of BBVA’s Annual General Meeting, to be held in Bilbao today, Francisco González made some remarks in which he reviewed last year’s results and the advances in the digital transformation project. “2017 has been a very good year for BBVA, and 2018 will be even better. And I know it will, because I have never seen our company so strong, so committed, and so united as under this transformation project.” he said.

January 2017 saw a new era begin for BBVA Compass, the U.S. subsidiary of BBVA, when Onur Genç took the reigns as the bank’s CEO and country manager.
