Global Corporate Banking
Corporate Banking is the unit in charge of large corporates which, because of their size, complexity and unique features, require a customised service in which transactional banking services are supplemented by specialised units such as Structured Finance, Sabadell Corporate Finance and Treasury and Capital Markets; the result is a comprehensive solution model for their needs, steered by a team of professionals located in Madrid, Barcelona, London, Paris, Miami, Mexico City, Bogota, Lima and Casablanca.
The business model is based on close strategic relations with customers, providing them with global solutions that are tailored to their needs while also taking account of the specific features of their business and the markets in which they operate. Our value proposition is supported by: cooperation between sales teams in different geographies with specific industry specialisation, and support from product experts (structured finance, treasury, etc.).
