The reason is already known to Bankia’s customers: the integration of the entity into CaixaBank has led to the migration of all of its customers to CaixaBank’s digital bank. Since this week, not only they must use the ‘CaixaBankNow’ application, but also that of ‘CaixaBank Sign’ and ‘CaixaBank Pay’. Let’s see what each of them is for.

‘CaixaBankNow’ to manage your accounts
