2. Operating model
BBVA says its Asia network includes branches in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, Taipei, and Tokyo. It describes Asian branches as serving wholesale banking and institutional investor clients, while representative offices perform liaison functions and do not provide banking services.
BBVA’s contact page lists Tokyo as a branch at Yanmar Tokyo in Yaesu, matching the FSA branch-surface logic. The branch should therefore be read as part of BBVA CIB’s Asia institutional network.
