"These reviews will continue at different times over the next two years."
The bank said in the statement that although most of the job cuts will occur at its Birmingham headquarters, where it has 3,100 employees, the city will remain an important focus of its business.
"Birmingham will maintain its role as an important hub for BBVA Compass, and the city will still be home to nearly a quarter of the bank’s workforce," it said.
