Strategia
Santander’s strategy centers on retail-focused banking funded mainly by customer deposits, with subsidiary-level balance sheet management and ongoing access to wholesale funding. The group is also investing in payments, digital onboarding, automation, and cross-platform product integration to deepen customer relationships and improve operating leverage.
Deposits are the core funding source for a retail bank and reduce reliance on wholesale markets.
Payments adds fee income, supports digital engagement, and deepens client usage across businesses.
Automation and better customer journeys can lower acquisition and servicing costs across markets.
A simpler group structure can improve management focus and align products with operating units.
Maantiede
Santander operates as a multinational bank with major businesses in Spain, the UK, Portugal, Brazil, Mexico, the United States, and other European and Latin American markets. Its business model is geographically diversified, which matters because funding, rates, credit conditions, and regulatory requirements differ across countries and affect how each subsidiary grows and manages risk.
Riskit
Santander is exposed to credit risk, interest-rate sensitivity, liquidity management, and market risk across a large multi-country banking group. As a lender with significant deposit and wholesale funding activity, it is also exposed to regulatory changes, asset quality deterioration, and valuation uncertainty in goodwill, provisions, and financial instruments.
