The new bbvacompass.com is visually enhanced and streamlined to offer customers clear direction on the products and financial solutions best suited to them. Using rollover navigation, the site simplifies the process of finding a product, while a home page sign-in for online banking gives customers direct access to their personal accounts.

"As a company that prides itself on innovation, BBVA Compass sought  to redesign our website to reflect the latest technology," said Andy Hernandez, director of ATM and online channels. "Customers want 24/7 access to their finances across all mediums, and they want an intuitive user experience. bbvacompass.com meets and exceeds those expectations."

The redesigned website is the first of many technology upgrades  the bank is planning for 2012. Other announced projects include the replacement of the bank's core banking platform, an undertaking that began in 2011 and is slated for implementation this year.
