Case Study: Kutxabank achieves up to 80% faster analytics and 25% more efficient secure data management with Cloudera Data Platform (Cloudera)

Kutxabank - Customer Case Study

Kutxabank, a Bilbao‑based Spanish savings bank with €65.6 billion in assets, faced an increasingly obsolete data warehouse that could not keep up with growing data volumes. The limitations caused reporting inefficiencies, heavy environment management overhead, rigid data‑lifecycle policies, and weak governance for credit‑granting and credit‑risk models.

Kutxabank implemented an on‑premises Cloudera Data Platform data lakehouse, offloading cold data from the DW, freeing resources for hot data, and deploying a data‑quality engine and an Analytics Management Office to expand use cases. The migration delivered a more efficient, robust and scalable architecture, improved advanced analytics performance by up to 80%, optimized secure environment management by 25%, strengthened end‑to‑end encryption and made compliance with ECB data‑masking rules easier, while enabling exploration of AI use cases.
