Business Model Analysis
Annual Revenue: EUR 62.390B
Santander makes money from net interest income on loans and securities, fees from payments and account activity, wealth and insurance commissions, consumer finance, cards, auto lending, and corporate and investment banking services. Its deposit base supplies relatively low-cost funding, while its geographic spread lets the group allocate capital toward higher-return markets when individual regions slow.
The growth plan is to add customers in core retail markets, push more activity through global platforms, expand fee income in wealth and payments, and concentrate capital where Santander has either leading local scale or strong cross-border network effects. Management is also returning excess capital through dividends and buybacks while keeping CET1 above target.
