                            <![CDATA[Just months after announcing its plan to <a href="https://www.bbva.com/en/us/bbva-to-unify-its-brand-worldwide-changes-its-logo-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">realign its global brand</a>, BBVA USA introduced a <a href="https://www.bbvausa.com/checking-accounts/premium-checking.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">newly updated Premium Checking account</a>, intended to deliver on the bank’s commitment to provide global products and services, an improved user experience, and solutions that help customers make better financial decisions.
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">Newly updated account reflects updated brand strategy: BBVA’s global focus on transparency and simplicity are reflected in the product’s new features and benefits</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">A simpler, more transparent product: The new Premium Checking account is streamlined with simpler qualifying criteria and expanded benefits</li>
 	<li>Lower monthly fees, more easily avoided: BBVA’s relationship program and private bank were also notable reasons for the bank’s designation.</li>
</ul>]]>
