Formed through the merger of Caja Laboral and Ipar Kutxa, it operates as part of the Mondragon Corporation, the world's largest worker-owned cooperative.

In Spain, Laboral Kutxa maintains a significant corporate presence in Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia, with an extensive branch network across Northern Spain.

For international professionals, the bank offers specialized roles in areas such as cybersecurity, international payment solutions, and financial regulation, though proficiency in Spanish is typically essential for integration.

Laboral Kutxa was formed in 2012 following the merger of Caja Laboral (founded in 1959) and Ipar Kutxa (founded in 1965). It is the financial arm of the Mondragon Corporation, reflecting a long history of cooperative banking in the Basque region.
