BBVA (Company)

On March 2, 1964, we opened our first branch in Birmingham, Alabama as Central Bank & Trust Company. Customers soon discovered we were different, better. We were more innovative, more willing to serve people in ways that other banks wouldn’t. From our founding, few could have predicted the path of our growth over the next 50 years. It’s been an exciting ride. Our challenges have been great; our achievements notable. And through it all, our willingness to serve customers in ways unfamiliar to traditional banks has fueled a remarkable trajectory of growth in assets and earnings. BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc. is a Sunbelt-based bank holding company whose principal subsidiary, BBVA, operates 649 branches, including 336 in Texas, 89 in Alabama, 63 in Arizona, 61 in California, 45 in Florida, 37 in Colorado and 18 in New Mexico. BBVA ranks among the top 25 largest U.S. commercial banks based on deposit market share and ranks among the largest banks in Alabama (2nd), Texas (4th) and Arizona (6th).
