BBVA Strengthens Its Presence in the United States With a New Office in Houston, Texas, Aimed at Boosting Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB), Global Wealth Management, and Clean Energy Advisory. Located at 1980 Post Oak Boulevard, the hub is composed of nearly 90 professionals and multiple business areas in one of the fastest-growing markets in the country.

The Houston office places BBVA at the heart of the energy transition, leveraging the city’s status as the global energy capital. It operates as a platform for clean energy and cleantech advisory, helping clients design decarbonization strategies, structure clean energy financing, and monetize tax credits. In addition, it works closely with BBVA teams in New York, London, and Madrid.

From September 14 to 19, 2025, BBVA will sponsor the Houston Energy & Climate Week and the Houston Energy & Climate Startup Week, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability.

“Sustainability is a key driver of BBVA’s long-term strategy and growth,” said Javier Rodríguez Soler, Global Head of Sustainability and CIB.

Houston also serves as a strategic base for BBVA’s CIB operations. Texas ranks as the eighth-largest economy in the world and is home to 54 Fortune 500 companies. Houston leads U.S. exports, making it a critical hub for international trade. BBVA bankers specialize in energy, infrastructure, construction, retail, and technology, serving both U.S. multinationals and subsidiaries of foreign companies.

The office strengthens cross-border business with Mexico, supporting U.S. companies in their southward expansion and seizing opportunities in nearshoring. It also serves high-net-worth clients from Mexico through BBVA Global Wealth Advisors, complementing the Miami office inaugurated in 2024.

“Houston combines economic strength, energy leadership, and international connectivity,” said Álvaro Aguilar, Head of Strategic Projects in the United States. “Our expanded presence positions BBVA to offer solutions in sustainability, corporate banking, wealth management, and cross-border business,” he added.
