Kutxabank

Kutxabank is a Spanish financial institution currently making news for several reasons. Firstly, they offer a variable mortgage option that is considered one of the most competitive in the market for March 2026, according to a Kelisto.es analysis. This highlights their active role in the mortgage sector. Secondly, and perhaps more controversially, Kutxabank is involved in the closure of the Eureka! science museum in San Sebastián. The bank plans to replace the museum, located in the Miramón Technology Park, with a smaller, more modest "knowledge and dissemination space" in the city center. This decision has drawn criticism, with some lamenting the loss of the region's only dedicated science museum. While the bank's financial products remain relevant, its involvement in the museum closure has brought it into the public discourse regarding cultural and scientific institutions.
