🚀 Closing our Young Leaders Program 2024: our most promising talents successfully completed their participation! A journey that began last March and, for nine months, has helped our SCF participants to strengthen not only their leadership skills and personal brand, but also overcome major obstacles such as the language barrier and work in a multicultural environment. A learning and collaboration space where our #YoungLeaders, in addition to building a global network of contacts, have been able to know the necessary tools to ensure that they can contribute with a positive impact to Santander’s future challenges. For four days, our participants have enjoyed the expected immersive week in Madrid, during which they had the opportunity to meet our CEO, Vicky Roig, with whom they could exchange experiences and a vision of our strategy. These days have been a fantastic opportunity for our twelve SCF participants to get to know each other, share ideas, better understand each other’s realities and exchange best practices. 🎉 Thank you all for your commitment and making this an unforgettable meeting! Looking forward to the next one!

🚗 Annual Auto Convention 2024   For the 13th time we have successfully celebrated our annual Auto Business Convention! This year’s event took place last week in Málaga with around 100 participants, including industry leaders and Santander's Auto Business representatives from Europe, Canada, the US, LATAM and China. A two-day meeting with intense discussions centered on #automotive, #mobility trends and key growth initiatives to be implemented in the forthcoming years. Our Auto Business senior leaders, Bruce Jackson and Edgar Mayoral, set the stage alongside Markus Collet & Amelia Bradley from Corporate Value, sharing their view on the automotive landscape and outlook. Additional speakers from industry leaders like Kia, Triumph, Volvo, Uber and Astara added a lot of value to the event. With an industry in constant change, this convention was the pit stop for key stakeholders to map out the road ahead. It lived up to its promise, providing a dynamic space for networking, collaboration and gaining insights into the future of auto finance!

📈 EARNINGS 9M24 | Nine months into the year, Digital Consumer Bank, Santander’s global business which encompasses the group’s consumer finance activity worldwide, generated an attributable profit of €1,507 million, a 4% increase year-on-year in euros (+5% in constant euros), mainly driven by operational leverage from solid performances in net interest income and net fee income and good cost control, which more than offset lower residual values in auto and the cost of risk normalization.   #Loans increased 5% year-on-year in constant euros, +7% in #auto in a market that is recovering. #Deposits rose 12% in constant euros, in line with our strategy aimed at lowering funding costs and reducing net interest income volatility across the cycle, to be able to offer our customers better pricing.   🎯 To respond to the changes that the #mobility and #consumerfinance ecosystem is undergoing, we continue to transform our operating model: - Offering global and best-in-class solutions, integrated into our partners' processes, accompanying them as their increasingly digital business models evolve. We continue to work on improving cross-regional partnerships and consolidating new partnerships by leveraging existing agreements. - Simplifying and automating our processes to improve customer experience and increase scalability. - Building and developing global platforms (#leasing, #Zinia,…).   As part of our profitable growth strategy, we continue to capture deposits, a lower cost and more stable source of funding, and actively manage our balance sheet to make it more capital light.   Read more here 👇
