Market Services is the unit within BBVA which is charged with providing access to market infrastructure for our clients. We currently operate out of Madrid, London and Mexico providing access to OTC Clearing and Futures and Options execution and clearing. The business has grown strongly over the last few years and consequently we are currently establishing an office in New York (subject to regulatory approval). Further evidencing our ambition, BBVA recently announced the purchase (subject to regulatory approval) of the 50% of Altura Markets in Spain that it does not currently own. Altura Markets is the leading broker for listed futures and options in Spain and Portugal.
