Great to see some of our UK clients and Santander Navigator users showcased at our AGM today - VOW Nutrition and G&I Spirit Group Ltd
When we do things the right way, our customers prosper, they grow their businesses and bring us new customers. Santander is a global Retail and Consumer powerhouse with 173 million customers, of which 10 million are businesses, mostly SMEs and self-employed. Looking forward, we expect to continue increasing profitability in 2025. In the first quarter, we maintained a positive trend, growing the number of customers and our RoTE is expected to be c.15.7% (post-AT1). We have confirmed all our targets for 2025 —including reaching a RoTE of c.16.5% (post-AT1)—. While we are monitoring the implications of recent tariff announcements in the US, it is in challenging times when the value of our diversification is most apparent. As a bank, our focus is on helping clients navigate the volatility and we are committed to doing that. Europe and the world need growth. To achieve this, more businesses have to invest, innovate and create more jobs, so we can sustain our social model. Financing them is our job. Here you have a small sample of what we do every day across Europe and the Americas. Today, we showed it to our shareholders at our AGM. Thank you for your trust and support over the past decade. The best is yet to come.

Santander UK Corporate & Commercial reposted this
Introducing our very first ‘Santander Scamtracker’, where every quarter we'll be providing a snapshot on the latest volumes, values, and trends within Authorised Push Payment scams. In the last quarter, we saw a staggering £18.4 million stolen from customers, with impersonation scams, advance fee scams, and romance scams seeing the biggest increases. We also recorded a jump in 18-34 year olds reporting scams, with fake concert tickets featuring prominently, whilst those aged 80+ have also seen an increase as a result of impersonation scams, purporting to be from the likes of HMRC and other often official-looking organisations. Stay one step ahead of the scammers – our ‘Scamtracker’ also identifies the newest trends doing the rounds, and we’re currently seeing a significant number of fake Sports Direct ads across Facebook, which has already resulted in over 450 reports of customers being scammed. Make sure you stay vigilant and do your checks. Always buy from a legitimate website and if the costs seems too good to be true, it probably is. #SantanderScamtracker

Our next Economic and Markets Webinar is Friday 21 March at 10.30am. Trade tariffs continue to dominate the headlines and impact the markets. Sentiment in recent weeks has shifted from tariffs supporting the US Dollar to fears of a US recession. This has seen their currency weaken across the board. So, we’ll be speaking to our panel about how currency markets might play out in 2025. Not forgetting the upcoming Spring Statement, we’ll cover the headwinds facing the UK economy. We’ll be speaking to Victoria Clarke (UK Chief Economist) and Stuart Bennett (Head of Currency Forecasting), both from Santander Corporate and Investment Banking.
