Ignacio Perezanta: Why Did BBVA Fire Banorte Advisor?

Houston, Texas financial advisor Ignacio Perezanta (CRD# 5262904) was recently fired by a former member firm in connection with alleged rule violations. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records show that the former BBVA Global Wealth Advisors representative is currently registered as a broker with Banorte Securities International.

Mr. Perezanta’s BrokerCheck report discloses his termination from BBVA Global Wealth Advisors. Filed in February 2026, the disclosure states that he was fired after “[a]n internal review found violations of GWA compliance policies and procedures.”

A second disclosure on Mr. Perezanta’s BrokerCheck report concerns an investor complaint. Filed in 2022, it alleged that as a representative of BBVA Securities, he recommended an unsuitable mutual fund transaction. The complaint alleged unspecified damages and was withdrawn.

In a statement included with the complaint’s disclosure, he contextualized the allegations. “BBVA Securities sold its retail accounts, including this particular relationship, to PNCI,” he wrote. “Our former sales supervisor and representative, now registered with PNCI, discussed this matter with client and recommended the client continue to hold the position. The client agreed with the recommendation, continues to hold the position and the matter is concluded with no further action as the client withdrew her complaint.”

An earlier investor complaint, filed in 2020, alleged that as a representative of BBVA Securities, he made unauthorized mutual fund trades. The complaint alleged damages of $263,587 and was withdrawn.

According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Ignacio Perezanta holds 18 years of securities industry experience. Based in Houston, Texas, he has been registered as a broker with Banorte Securities International since May 2026. His past registrations include BBVA Global Wealth Advisors, PNC Managed Account Solutions, PNC Investments, BBVA Securities, and BBVA Compass Investment Solutions. His credentials include the passage of four securities industry qualifying exams: the Securities Industry Essentials Examination, or SIE; the Uniform Combined State Law Examination, or Series 66; the Uniform Investment Adviser Law Examination, or Series 65; and the General Securities Representative Examination, or Series 7. He is not currently licensed with any US state. (Information current as of May 20, 2026.)
