The alternative to traditional banking that reverts the benefits to its members

What began as a cooperative credit institution founded in 1967 by a group of engineers with the aim of financing their projects, is today, 55 years later, a cooperative financial institution open to everyone. No box, no bank. Through its cooperative model, Caixa d'Enginyers reverts the benefits obtained directly to its partners, to society and to the planet. A relationship model based on proximity to its partners, quality of service, transparency and solvency.

The Entity, open to anyone who wants to be part of a cooperative banking model, has the challenge of "being recognized for the satisfaction of our partners, taking care of their financial health and maintaining our socially responsible character" points out the president of Grup Caixa d 'Enginyers, Félix Masjuan. The general director of Caixa d'Enginyers, Joan Cavallé, adds: "The keys to our solid and constant growth, and to our cooperative model are: our vocation for partners; our focus on digitization to gain proximity and our commitment to the social economy contributing to the well-being of society and guaranteeing the continuity of the planet".

55 years after its founding, more than 215,000 members trust the Caixa d'Enginyers cooperative banking model, based on quality of service and proximity.

To facilitate closeness with its partners, Caixa d'Enginyers has 33 offices throughout the Spanish territory, 22 of which are in Catalonia. The personalized and multi-channel advice focuses on the moment and the personal and professional trajectory of each of the partners.

The Entity is also committed to financial education, which it considers a key tool for economic growth and the financial health of citizens.

The commitment to sustainable finance is another of the backbones of the Entity, where its products and services are governed by SRI (Socially Responsible Investment) criteria. Currently, Caixa d'Enginyers follows an investment strategy marked by participation in funds focused on assets that operate based on the so-called ESG criteria, which enforce environmental, social and good governance aspects. In turn, it is an entity committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that it also channels through its Foundation.
