At Santander, we believe education is key to financial inclusion and protecting users of financial services.
Teaching financial concepts helps people to take better decisions about their money and protect their finances.
Financial education is at the core of our responsible banking agenda, through which we aim to make economic concepts easier to understand, reduce asymmetric information between customers and financial service providers, protect the most vulnerable through special tactics and promote market stability.
For us, financial education also means teaching people the tools to carry out digital transactions in a simple and secure way that protects them from identity theft and fraud.
