Natixis CIB has developed a specialized corporate and investment banking business in Spain, with recognized experience in infrastructure, energy, real estate financing, and capital markets.
Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking (Natixis CIB), the corporate and investment banking division of Groupe BPCE —the second largest banking group in France and the fourth in Europe by equity—, celebrates its 25th anniversary in Spain. This milestone highlights the evolution of its activity in the country and the Group's long-term commitment to the Spanish market.
Natixis CIB opened its Madrid office in 2001 with a team of just five people. Today it has nearly 100 professionals. Across its businesses, Groupe BPCE employs more than 400 people in Spain. Natixis CIB Iberia serves clients in Spain and Portugal, combining local proximity with the reach and expertise of a global platform.
In Spain, Natixis CIB works with companies, financial entities, institutional investors, and funds through a specialized model, focused on sectors and activities in which it brings differential experience and execution capability. Over the years, it has consolidated a prominent position in infrastructure, energy, real estate financing, and capital markets, while expanding its activity into areas such as digital infrastructure, banking insurance agreements, acquisition financing, strategic financing, and global markets.
The presence of BPCE in Spain has gradually expanded. In addition to Natixis CIB and its specialized mergers and acquisitions (M&A) subsidiary, Natixis Partners Iberia, the Group has developed other activities in the country, including BPCE Lease, Pramex, and Natixis Investment Managers.
"We celebrate our 25th anniversary in Spain with a solid track record of growth and, above all, with the trust of our clients, which is what has allowed us to get here. Looking ahead to 2030, our ambition is to continue developing our core businesses and drive our activity in acquisition and strategic financing (Acquisition & Strategic Finance) and global markets (Global Markets), areas in which we have strengthened our teams and expanded our capabilities. All of this, with the support of Groupe BPCE and its long-term commitment to Spain," says Javier Santos, Senior Country Manager of Natixis CIB Iberia.

Groupe BPCE has 36 million customers worldwide, 110,000 employees, and a CET1 ratio of 15.5%. Natixis CIB benefits from the financial strength of the Group and its credit ratings.
