The history of our bank begins on May 15, 1857, when Queen Isabella II signed the Royal Decree approving the Constitution of the Banco de Santander. Since our beginnings, we have been an externally open bank, initially associated with the trade between the port of Santander in northern Spain and Latin America. In the same year, we renewed the bank`s corporate governance to incorporate international best practices. We appoint new independent directors; We have implemented a new compensation policy for directors and officers, adapted to the culture of simplicity, personality and fairness. We have appointed new Heads of State and Government in five key countries; and we strengthen the management and efficiency of the Corporate Center.

In 2005, we agreed to acquire a 19.8% interest in Sovereign Bancorp, the 18th largest bank in the United States. Between 1900 and 1919, we doubled our balance sheet, increased our capital to ten million pesetas, increased our income, approached half a million pesetas in profits in 1917, and our profitability was above the average of Spanish credit companies. In addition, during these years, the three major Spanish banks were founded, which over time were integrated into our bank: the Banco Hispanoamericano (1900), the Español de Crédito (1902) and the Centrale (1919). In 2015, we continued our strategy to become the best commercial bank and earn the trust and loyalty of our employees, customers, shareholders and society. In addition, our management and the 190,000 professionals who work with us around the world share a common culture and are committed to making Santander a simpler, more personal and fairer bank every day.
