CaixaBank

CaixaBank is a Spanish financial institution that is currently newsworthy due to its role in pension payments and a leadership change within CriteriaCaixa, a significant shareholder. The bank is one of several entities, including Banco Santander, ING, and BBVA, that are responsible for distributing monthly pension payments to retirees. While the official payment window set by Social Security is between the 1st and 4th of each month, CaixaBank, like other banks, often advances the payment dates. Separately, Isidro Fainé, reorganized the board of CriteriaCaixa, appointing José María Méndez as the new CEO, filling the vacancy left by Ángel Simón. This change is relevant as it signifies a shift in leadership within a key entity connected to CaixaBank.
