BBVA Perú (formerly BBVA Banco Continental) is a Peruvian bank and subsidiary of Holding Continental (an affiliate of BBVA) which holds 92.08% of its equity.

History

The bank was established in 1951, and its operations are authorized by the Superintendencia de Banca, Seguros y AFP (SBS).

BBVA Continental is the result of the merger of Banco Continental with Banco Bilbao Vizcaya and Grupo Breca in 1995.[2]

In June 2011, the Fitch credit rating agency raised BBVA Continental's investment grade from BBB to A−.[3]

The bank conducts its business through 311 branches located in different regions of Peru. As of February 2014, it had 5,429 employees.[4]

In 2014, Global Finance ranked BBVA Continental the "Best Bank in Peru."[5]

On June 10, 2019, BBVA unifies its brand worldwide and BBVA Continental is renamed BBVA.[6]

In July 2019, Fernando Eguiluz becomes CEO of BBVA Perú.[7]
