AI-powered banking: Enhancing customer experience and efficiency

A core focus of the initiative is leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to improve customer service and operational efficiency. CaixaBank will integrate AI-driven tools to enhance both employee and customer experiences, streamlining transactions and optimizing service models in branches.

These initiatives will enhance real-time data processing and improve business intelligence capabilities. CaixaBank plans to accelerate its cloud transition by developing a scalable and automated infrastructure, allowing for faster implementation of new services and security enhancements.

Investing in talent: CaixaBank to hire 3,000 new employees

To support this transformation, CaixaBank will expand its technology workforce by hiring 3,000 young professionals over the next three years, including 1,000 IT specialists.
