How does BBVA compare with its peers on AI and technology?

BBVA scores 77.2 on this site's global AI disclosure index, #27 of 140 banks and fifth in its nine-bank peer group, behind Commonwealth Bank of Australia (88.2), DBS (85.5), Lloyds (83.6) and Deutsche Bank (78.9), and ahead of Société Générale (72.7), BNP Paribas (72), Santander (71.3) and ING (65.2). Evident's October 2026 AI Index ranks BBVA first among eurozone banks and third in Europe. The score measures what is on the record, not capability. Three things separate BBVA from named peers. First, depth of the OpenAI relationship: about 100,000 employees on ChatGPT Enterprise with 70%-plus weekly use and more than 20,000 custom GPTs (June 2026), plus a founding stake in OpenAI's Deployment Company; Santander gave AI access to all 185,000 employees in June 2026 across several providers, and Bloomberg reported that Société Générale scrapped its in-house SoGPT for Microsoft Copilot. Second, production scale: 1,127 AI use cases in production (July 2026), against more than 800 in place at BNP Paribas. Third, disclosure: BBVA leads the group on its own primary disclosures, dated moves and disclosed numbers. Where BBVA trails: it ranks last in the group on independent sources; it publishes time savings (about 2.4 hours a week per regular user) but no euro value of AI, while BNP Paribas reports about €600 million to date, Santander €84 million in the first half of 2026, Lloyds about £50 million from generative AI and DBS about SGD 1 billion; and Commonwealth Bank of Australia and DBS lead it on outside AI rankings.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

Where does BBVA lead its peers on AI?

01

The deepest OpenAI deployment among European banks

BBVA went from 3,300 ChatGPT Enterprise licences (May 2024) to an alliance covering all 120,000 employees (December 2025); OpenAI reports about 100,000 users with 70%-plus weekly activity and more than 20,000 custom GPTs (June 2026). NatWest's OpenAI collaboration dates from March 2025; BNP Paribas built its LLM-as-a-Service platform around Mistral AI.[14][15][2][16][17]

02

Top eurozone bank on Evident's 2026 index

Evident's AI Index (October 6, 2026) ranks BBVA first among eurozone banks, third in Europe and fourth overall on leadership. NatWest placed 17th and Lloyds 15th of 50; Commonwealth Bank of Australia was fourth overall.[1][18][13]

03

More production use cases than BNP Paribas or Société Générale disclose

BBVA reports 1,127 AI use cases in production (July 2026) from more than 8,000 identified by teams. BNP Paribas says it has more than 800 AI use cases in place, and Société Générale reported 300 in production in October 2024.[6][19][7][20]

04

An agent framework with published guardrails

On October 6, 2026 BBVA presented 'The Frame', a common framework giving each AI agent defined access, operational limits and human-oversight points, with voice agents resolving close to 90% of interactions in pilots in Peru and Mexico. Lloyds' Envoy platform (May 2026) has an Agent Marketplace with built-in safety checks and an audit trail.[8][21]

Where does BBVA trail its peers on AI?

01

No euro value for AI

BBVA reports time savings (about 2.4 hours a week per regular user) and productivity gains such as 28% for developers, but no euro value. BNP Paribas reports about €600 million of AI value to date and targets €750 million by end-2026; Santander reports €84 million in the first half of 2026 and targets more than €1 billion a year by 2028; Société Générale sizes a €500 million to €600 million opportunity.[8][9][10][22][23]

02

Least independent coverage in the group

BBVA ranks last of nine on independent sources in this site's index, with 11 against DBS's 29; most of its record comes from BBVA and OpenAI themselves. DBS carries outside awards such as Global Finance's World's Best AI Bank (October 2025).[24][2]

03

Behind the Asia-Pacific and UK leaders on overall disclosure

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (88.2), DBS (85.5) and Lloyds (83.6) all score higher on this site's index; CBA reports about A$200 million of measured AI benefits in FY26 and Lloyds about £50 million from generative AI in 2025, both with targets for the following year.[25][11][26]

Where does BBVA rank against its peers on AI disclosure?

Scores from reference score: the AI-index formula applied to all 140 profiles (0–100; 45% of the weight on independent coverage). The index measures what each bank has put on the public record and what outside outlets have reported about its AI, not capability or spending; every count is of entries on that bank's profile, each of which cites its sources.

How do BBVA and Santander compare on payments made by AI agents?

The two Spanish rivals have raced to put AI agents into the card payment path. Santander and Mastercard completed what they called Europe's first live end-to-end payment by an AI agent on March 2, 2026, followed by controlled Visa Intelligent Commerce purchases in five Latin American markets on March 12 and Getnet infrastructure for merchants to accept agent-initiated payments in June. BBVA completed its first AI-agent-initiated card payment with Visa in Spain on July 2, 2026, with real card credentials.[111][112][113][114]

On standards, BBVA became the first European bank to join Poppy, the draft Personal Agent Protocol led by Sierra AI and Meta, on October 13, 2026, so that customer-authorised AI agents can deal with businesses. ING co-authored principles for agentic commerce with Bank of America, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, NatWest and others in September 2026; BBVA was the first bank to offer Apple Intelligence card personalisation in Spain (October 2025).[88][100][115]

Which banks are BBVA's peers, and why these?

BBVA is compared here with Banco Santander, ING Groep N.V., BNP Paribas SA, Société Générale, Deutsche Bank, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Lloyds Banking Group and DBS Group Holdings: chosen by the editors for this page (see the note below the table). BBVA is classed as a regional or retail-commercial bank headquartered in Spain.

The computed group left out Santander, which BBVA's 20-F names as a main competitor in both Spain and Mexico, so this page compares BBVA first with the eurozone universal and retail banks it is measured against (Santander, ING, BNP Paribas, Société Générale, Deutsche Bank) and keeps three retail-led groups that publish detailed AI programmes (Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Lloyds, DBS).

Is BBVA better than Santander at AI?

The record cannot settle capability. On disclosure, BBVA scores 77.2 on this site's index against Santander's 71.3, and Evident ranks BBVA first among eurozone banks. Santander publishes a euro value (€84 million in the first half of 2026, more than €1 billion a year targeted by 2028); BBVA publishes adoption and time savings instead.[1][10][22][8]

Which European bank works most closely with OpenAI?

BBVA has the deepest public relationship: a multi-year alliance covering all 120,000 employees, about 100,000 active ChatGPT Enterprise users, a founding stake in OpenAI's Deployment Company and early access to its cyber-defence models. NatWest was the first UK bank to collaborate with OpenAI (March 2025).[46][2][3][116][16]

How does BBVA's AI compare with BNP Paribas'?

BBVA scores 77.2 on this site's index and BNP Paribas 72. BBVA reports 1,127 use cases in production and about 100,000 ChatGPT Enterprise users; BNP Paribas reports more than 800 use cases, an LLM-as-a-Service platform built around Mistral AI and about €600 million of AI value to date.[6][2][7][53][9]

How many BBVA employees use AI?

OpenAI's June 2026 case study reports about 100,000 BBVA employees on ChatGPT Enterprise with 70%-plus weekly activity; BBVA said in October 2026 that 75% use generative AI on a recurring basis, saving about 2.4 hours a week. Santander opened AI access to all 185,000 employees in June 2026.[2][1][4]

Where does BBVA rank on AI among European banks?

Evident's October 2026 AI Index ranks BBVA first among eurozone banks, third in Europe and fourth on leadership. On this site's index, BBVA (77.2) is ahead of Société Générale, BNP Paribas, Santander and ING, and behind Deutsche Bank (78.9) and Lloyds (83.6).[1]

Which Spanish bank was first with AI-agent payments, BBVA or Santander?

Santander: it completed what it called Europe's first live end-to-end payment by an AI agent, with Mastercard Agent Pay, on March 2, 2026. BBVA completed its first AI-agent-initiated card payment with Visa in Spain on July 2, 2026, and in October joined the Poppy agent protocol as its first European bank partner.[111][114][88]

Does BBVA use Google as well as OpenAI?

Yes. BBVA rolled out Google Workspace with Gemini, the Gemini app and NotebookLM to its workforce from July 2025, and lists OpenAI, Google, Microsoft and AWS as technology and AI partners while aiming to preserve technological independence. Deutsche Bank and ING build mainly on Google Cloud.[47][1][38][67]
