Bankia, traded over the counter under the symbol BNKXF, is a Spanish banking group formed in 2010 through the consolidation of several regional savings banks. Originally established to strengthen the retail banking sector in Spain, the institution underwent a comprehensive restructuring and partial nationalization in the wake of the European financial crisis. Bankia went public in 2014, marking one of the largest domestic IPOs in Spanish history, and its operations have since been integrated into CaixaBank following a merger completed in 2021.
The bank’s core business activities encompass a broad range of retail and commercial banking services. Its retail division serves individual customers with deposit accounts, consumer loans, mortgages and credit cards. On the corporate side, Bankia provides financing solutions, working capital facilities, leasing and factoring services, as well as tailored credit structures for small and medium-sized enterprises. Through its insurance arm and wealth management unit, the group offers life and non-life insurance products, pension plans and investment funds.
While Bankia’s primary market is Spain—where it maintains an extensive branch network across all autonomous communities—the group has also cultivated an international presence. It supports corporate and private banking clients through subsidiaries and representative offices in key financial centers including London, Mexico City, São Paulo and Panama City. This network enables Bankia to facilitate cross-border trade finance, foreign exchange operations and global transaction banking for Spanish corporations operating overseas.
Bankia’s leadership team has been guided by seasoned banking executives and a board chaired by José Ignacio Goirigolzarri, a recognized figure in European finance. Under his direction, the bank pursued digital transformation initiatives and strengthened its risk management framework. Since its merger with CaixaBank, Bankia continues to operate as part of a larger group, benefitting from shared technology platforms and expanded services while preserving its brand identity in the Spanish marketplace.
