If you’re looking to work at BBVA, start with a verified application channel and vacancies for the company you actually want to apply to. BBVA has a corporate careers page that links to its vacancies and offers the option to leave your CV. It’s worth distinguishing between customer-facing banking roles, technology roles, risk positions and opportunities for recent graduates.
This guide provides information on how to submit your CV to BBVA, explore career areas, identify requirements and prepare an application tailored to the role. It does not replace the terms of an open recruitment process.
Kurriku note: This guide is for information only. Vacancies may change or disappear; Kurriku does not receive CVs on behalf of the company and is not involved in recruitment.
How to submit your CV to BBVA
Before providing personal information, check where your application is going and avoid using links found only in old guides:
- Identify the recruitment channel specified by the company and check the domain or authorised provider.
- Check the role, workplace, category and date, and whether applications are still open.
- Read the conditions, experience, education and availability required in the advert.
- Prepare a version of your CV that prioritises the skills you have that are genuinely relevant to the role.
- Complete the required details in the application system and save the confirmation if one is provided.
If you need to review your document before applying, see how to write a CV step by step. A complete application does not guarantee an interview, but it reduces avoidable mistakes.
Where to find official BBVA vacancies
You can start with BBVA’s careers page. This was the verified corporate or recruitment access point at the time of this review.
How to access vacancies: Go to bbva.com/es/empleo to browse vacancies or use the option to leave your CV when available. Read each listing to check the country, location, working arrangement and stages. Tests or interviews will depend on the area, and there is no single standard process.
Types of jobs at BBVA
The areas below describe roles associated with the company; they are not a list of vacancies currently open. Check which roles are being recruited for when you search:
Branch network and banking customer service
Serving individual and business customers, providing advice and handling commercial transactions. Requirements for financial knowledge and sales skills depend on the role.
Technology, data and cybersecurity
The bank develops digital services and may hire specialists in software engineering, data analysis, security and systems. These roles require different technical skills.
Risk, finance and compliance
There are roles in risk analysis, control, accounting and regulatory compliance. Each position may require specific qualifications and knowledge of regulated areas.
Programmes for recent graduates
The company advertises initiatives for young talent and other opportunities; qualification requirements, dates and locations vary between programmes.
Requirements for working at BBVA
There is no single set of requirements for every department. These checks can help you decide whether you are a good fit for a vacancy:
- Check the country and exact location: BBVA operates in many markets, and a vacancy may not be in Spain.
- Check whether qualifications in finance, economics, IT, law or other specialisms are required.
- For customer service and business roles, highlight your listening, communication and problem-solving skills where you can demonstrate them.
- For technology or risk roles, specify the programming languages, tools or regulations you know.
If the advert lists essential requirements, do not replace them with general advice. A technical or regulated role may require specific qualifications that are not needed for a retail role.
Can you work at BBVA with no experience?
It depends on the role and recruitment announcement. Some entry-level roles value the ability to learn, while management, engineering, finance or specialist driving roles may require previous experience. It would be misleading to promise that you can get a job with no experience in every case.
If you have not worked before, include placements, projects, education, languages and skills that you can substantiate. Avoid presenting a personal aspiration as a requirement supposedly published by the company.
BBVA’s recruitment process
Go to bbva.com/es/empleo to browse vacancies or use the option to leave your CV when available. Read each listing to check the country, location, working arrangement and stages. Tests or interviews will depend on the area, and there is no single standard process.
If your application progresses, check who contacts you and how. If you are invited to an interview or assessment, prepare real examples of tasks, problem-solving or achievements relevant to the role. The advert or recruitment team will determine the stages.
Pay and working conditions
The bank does not have one standard salary across all its countries and roles. Branch, engineering, analysis and management positions involve different responsibilities. Check the vacancy and applicable contractual framework for pay details.
When considering an offer, it is worth confirming the gross pay, working hours, possible shifts, workplace, contract type and any additional payments. Third-party reviews or historical figures from another country are no substitute for the employment information in the advert.
Branch roles and digital careers
Not all vacancies involve serving the public. Branch and digital teams have different processes and requirements. Filter by career area rather than searching only for the word “bank”.
How to prepare a CV for BBVA
An effective CV does not have to be lengthy. Identify the two or three main duties in the vacancy and provide evidence that you can carry them out. Give priority to the most relevant experience, not necessarily your entire work history.
- Use a professional headline related to the role, without overstating your experience.
- Include skills, tools, certificates and achievements you genuinely have.
- Check the spelling and your phone number and email address before applying.
- Use the requested file format and a recognisable file name for your CV.
- Avoid sharing additional personal documents through unverified links.
You can prepare a brief cover letter if the system allows it, explaining what appeals to you about the role and the specific skills you can offer.
Common mistakes when applying for a job
- Assuming a previous recruitment campaign is still open without checking the current deadline.
- Applying for a location or country other than the one where you want to work.
- Claiming to have certificates, experience or availability that you cannot demonstrate.
- Trusting job adverts that ask for upfront payments as a condition of hiring.
- Sending the same CV without tailoring it to roles with different responsibilities.
