This close, specialised approach is further strengthened by BBVA CIB’s clear commitment to growth in strategic corridors such as the United States and the United Kingdom, where it continues to increase its presence, market share, and product offering. This progress is also reflected in its positioning in league tables, with a prominent presence among the top Loan Arrangers in the US market and a leading role in syndicated loans in Latin America.
Global strategy, local solutions
Supporting companies throughout their expansion journey, from identifying opportunities to executing their international strategy, is key. “Our global network, with presence across Europe, the Americas and Asia, allows us to support clients both in their home markets and in the countries where they want to operate. This creates a clear competitive edge,” says Yashina.

A global strategy makes sense when it translates into local results. Cross-border coordination enables BBVA to deliver consistent, market-adapted support, leading in those geographies where its presence is most established. This collaboration fosters trust and enables large-scale transactions. One example is Argentina, where BBVA recently led the $800 million international bond issuance for Telecom Argentina. The bank also acted as Sole Financial Advisor, Bookrunner, Lead Arranger and Administrative Agent in the $1.245 billion financing of Telefónica Argentina’s acquisition.
Another example is in the Andean region, where BBVA closed a $200 million green loan for ENTEL Chile, reinforcing its presence in emerging markets and its role in sustainable finance.
Innovation and knowledge: building blocks for safer and more efficient cross-border operations
Technology is transforming cross-border business, from international payments and transaction traceability to the optimisation of logistics flows. BBVA CIB drives digital solutions that provide visibility, security and efficiency, even in volatile contexts.
Virtual IBANs and the evolution of supply chain finance and working capital solutions are just some examples of how innovation is enhancing treasury and liquidity management. In addition, risk management tools help companies operate securely in complex markets, prioritising agility and personalisation.
“It’s not just about offering financial products, it’s about enabling cross-border operations that are smooth, secure, and tailored to each context and need,” says Yashina. “At BBVA, we aim to be the bridge that connects companies with global opportunities.”
With a global network, bespoke solutions, and a firm commitment to innovation, BBVA CIB is a trusted partner for companies aiming to grow without borders. Because in a global world, knowledge, technology and trust are the true enablers of growth.
