Fast-growing regional bank BBVA Compass plans to shift 200 jobs from its call center in Birmingham, Ala., to Texas.


The bank plans to phase out call center operations in Alabama and transition the jobs to Pharr, near McAllen, and also to a new call center to be located in San Antonio, according to BBVA spokesman Ed Bilek.

The jobs will be outsourced to call center operator Atento, effective Oct.1.

BBVA Compass, based in Birmingham, is the U.S. banking arm of Spanish financial services giant Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA. The holding company for BBVA’s U.S. operations is based in Houston.
