Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria is restructuring its senior leadership and streamlining internal reporting lines, a strategic pivot aimed at accelerating the bank’s digital transformation and mitigating the disruptive influence of artificial intelligence on traditional retail banking and customer service operations.
