Kutxabank Investment S.V., S.A.U. is a Spanish securities firm (Sociedad de Valores) registered with the CNMV under number 040 and headquartered in Bilbao, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kutxabank Group.

The company runs proprietary technology built in-house, anchored by two core platforms: Norline+, an integral securities system connecting with market infrastructures and financial institutions' IT systems for end-to-end post-trade processing, and Norbolsabroker, a web-based online brokerage platform integrable into financial entity systems for retail and office-network distribution.

The firm is GDPR-compliant and operates under CNMV supervision with a stated high capital ratio.

Kutxabank Investment monetizes through a mix of transaction-based fees (intermediation commissions, capital markets underwriting and placement fees, M&A advisory fees), professional services fees (securities services outsourcing), and recurring subscription-style revenue (discretionary portfolio management including ESG-mandated mandates). Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales to institutional clients and Basque-region corporates, with no intermediary resellers. Customer logos include CIE Automotive, CAF, Arteche, Faes Farma, Dominion, Nortegas, and the Basque Government (Gobierno Vasco), with the company acting as arranger, placing entity, registered advisor, and principal intermediary across equity and debt programs in Spain and Dublin.
