Your security comes first

What BBVA will never do

  • Send a link via SMS.
  • Call without warning: You will always receive a notification via the BBVA app in the “My Messages” section.
  • Ask for your full ID number, a one-time password sent via text message, or your PIN for your bank card.

What you should never do

  • Share your passwords. This could compromise the security of your accounts and your personal, sensitive data.
  • Share your personal information with strangers. You could become a victim of fraud or data breaches.
  • Use devices that are not updated or don't have an antivirus installed on them. Protect your personal data from threats such as viruses, malware and unauthorized access.
