BBVA’s cross-border business: connecting companies with global opportunities
The cross-border business is emerging as a key driver for companies seeking global expansion beyond their domestic markets. Within this evolving landscape, BBVA Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB) provides expert advice, tailored financial solutions, and an extensive global network that connects major financial hubs with emerging markets. Through an innovative approach and comprehensive risk management, the bank supports its clients’ international growth.
In an increasingly interconnected world, where borders are becoming more fluid, growth opportunities are multiplying on a global scale. For forward-looking companies, cross-border business represents a dynamic source of capital and a strategic pathway to business growth and investment. It offers access to new customers, markets, and revenue streams in an environment where competition is ever more intense. Geographic diversification also helps to mitigate risks linked to local economic or political fluctuations, thereby reducing dependency on a single market.
BBVA Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB) seeks to become a strategic partner for companies and institutions on their journey towards internationalisation. With a comprehensive approach, the business unit offers expert advisory services and bespoke, innovative, and sophisticated financial solutions to optimise investment and funding operations.
A Bridge to Global Success
BBVA CIB’s team brings deep expertise in both local and international markets, guiding clients through every stage of the internationalisation process—from identifying opportunities to executing strategy. This support spans all aspects of the business: knowledge, talent, resources, and available technology, ensuring a holistic approach.
In addition, BBVA CIB offers its wholesale banking clients access to a broad global network that unlocks cross-border business opportunities. The bank distinguishes itself through its strategic presence not only in major global financial centres but also in emerging markets, enabling it to connect clients with a wide-reaching network of investors, partners, and markets. This combination of global reach with local insight is essential to facilitate international expansion and maximise access to new opportunities.
“The bank distinguishes itself through its strategic presence not only in major global financial centres but also in emerging markets”
At the same time, in today’s complex and fast-changing economic environment, a standardised approach is no longer sufficient. Every organisation faces a unique set of challenges, objectives, and circumstances that require individual attention. In recognition of this diversity, BBVA CIB is committed to deeply understanding each client’s specific needs, developing bespoke financial solutions tailored to their requirements.
The bank designs innovative and customised financing structures, which may include syndicated loans, project finance, trade finance, and access to capital markets. BBVA is also firmly committed to cutting-edge technology to ensure maximum efficiency. These scalable technological solutions allow companies to optimise profitability and benefit from a comprehensive offering available across all geographies.
Informed decision-making is critical to success in the global marketplace. That’s why BBVA goes beyond offering financial products and services to large corporations—it aims to be a long-term strategic partner to its clients. This commitment is reflected in close collaboration, focused on understanding their goals and developing solutions that drive results.
As Xenia Yashina, Head of Cross-Border at CIB, explains: “We forge strong partnerships with companies looking to expand their horizons and seize the opportunities offered by cross-border business. With a constantly expanding global network, tailored solutions, and a strong commitment to innovation, BBVA is ready to be the key partner in our clients’ international growth journey".
