Besides Santander and banking, I have other interests that I might tweet about: education, entrepreneurship and jobs, the transformational power of digital technology, inclusive growth, sports, Yoga and even tea.

Pleased to welcome Gilson Finkelsztain back to @bancosantander as new CEO of @santander_br. Mario Leão informed earlier this year of his decision to step down, enabling a well-planned succession expected to be completed by the end of July. Read more here: linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Congratulations, @JonRahmOfficial

Celebrating 30 years of our #LATAM CEO Conference in NYC — a bridge between the deepest capital markets in the world and our Latin American customers. With 100M million customers in the region, @bancosantander will continue to support your growth. Latin America is better positioned than ever in the current geopolitical context: ▪️Supply chain nearshoring is real. ▪️Institutions are stronger. ▪️Governments are pursuing pro-business agendas. ▪️Ties with the United States are stronger. Thanks to all who joined us.

Terrible tragedia en El Bocal. En este segundo día de luto, mi pensamiento está con las familias y amigos de los cinco jóvenes que perdieron la vida. Todo mi cariño en estos momentos tan difíciles. Gracias también a los equipos de rescate que continúan la búsqueda hoy

Europe’s biggest — prudential, security and social — risk is persistently low growth. This is not some arcane technical issue, nor is it just about banks. It has a direct impact on all of us — people, institutions and businesses, especially the small firms that are Europe's growth engine. (This video is from a few months ago and it shows what European citizens are asking for — it is not only us). See link to op-ed signed by the 11 European CEOs. --- El mayor riesgo prudencial, de seguridad y social de Europa es que el nivel de crecimiento sigue siendo demasiado bajo. Esta no es una cuestión técnica, ni un tema que afecte solo a los bancos. Tiene un impacto directo en todos nosotros —personas, instituciones y empresas—, especialmente en las pequeñas compañías, que son el motor del crecimiento europeo. (Este vídeo es de hace unos meses y muestra lo que piden los ciudadanos europeos — no somos los únicos que pensamos así).

Delivery depends primarily on us. And I trust our team, their passion for our customers and our mission will again deliver the numbers and will do so the right way – both for today and the decades ahead. It starts here!

Over the last 11 years, we have transformed Santander. Now, we are raising the bar and over the next three years we are targeting: ▪️+30 million customers, reaching 210 million in total ▪️Growth in revenues and a reduction in costs every year ▪️RoTE above 20% and profit above €20 billion ▪️High-teens growth in value creation (TNAV per share plus DPS), and ▪️More than doubling our cash dividend per share by 2028. santander.com/en/press-room/…

.@bancosantander set a new standard for profitable growth yesterday as we presented the next step in our strategy for the next three years at our 2026 #InvestorDay in London.

Very much enjoyed discussing the transformative power of AI and what it means for society and for our 180 million customers at @bancosantander as their behaviour changes. We value strategic partnerships and collaboration as a key element for making informed decisions and delivering the best outcomes for both private and public sector organisations.

.@bancosantander and the @EIB will mobilise together €900 million in new financing to support European companies, with a focus on tech, defence, and energy transition. eib.org/en/press/all/2…

This transaction builds on the great work that our teams are doing. Huge thanks to all, and to our customers and shareholders for your continued support and trust. I look forward to providing a full update on our strategy and priorities at our #InvestorDay on February 25th.

Webster also brings a top-notch and proven management team, led by John Ciulla, which de-risks integration and accelerates execution from day one, with Christiana Riley continuing as Country Head for the US and Tim Ryan as Chair.

2025 has been an incredible year for @bancosantander. Once again, we have delivered record results, marking the 4th consecutive year of profitable growth. We added 8M new customers —surpassing 180M—, increased EPS by 17%, and achieved a RoTE of 16.3% with revenues up and costs down. santander.com/en/press-room/…

Muy triste por el grave accidente ferroviario ocurrido en Adamuz. Mi más sentido pésame a las familias de las víctimas y todo mi apoyo a los heridos y a quienes están sufriendo en estos momentos.

As the transaction with Erste Group closes, I would like to thank Michał and all our teams in Santander Bank Polska for their dedication and outstanding contribution to @bancosantander over the years. It has been a privilege to work with such a strong team. santander.com/en/press-room/…

Proud to announce that @bancosantander and Santander Bank Polska, alongside K-SURE and KEXIM, are supporting a $6.5bn investment to strengthen Poland’s defence and security. bgk.pl/aktualnosc/bgk…

Esta mañana nos ha dejado Carles Vilarrubí, un gran amigo, de esos que siempre decimos que “están llenos de vida”, con quien hemos disfrutado de tantos momentos compartiendo historias que contaba mejor que nadie. Ha dejado huella en todos los ámbitos: empresarial, cultural, gastronómico y deportivo; siempre con gran discreción. Una persona culta y muy querida, cercana a los pequeños empresarios y a la comunidad. Mi más sentido pésame para Sol, su hija y toda la familia. Descanse en paz.
