There’s not much to choose between Spain’s two banking leaders, BBVA and BSCH. They have similar market shares, similar strategies, similar market capitalizations and equally well regarded management teams.

It is still marginally ahead of its great local rival in terms of size measured by total assets and share of customer funds.
