In 2024 we upgraded our centres of excellence and boosted client engagement, with a strong focus on our Global Markets strategy and US growth target. Santander CIB's growth and transformation puts us in the best position to advise our clients.

José M. Linares, Global Head of Corporate & Investment Banking

In 2024, Santander CIB’s revenue climbed to EUR 8,343 million, with profits of EUR 2,740 million (up 12% year on year). These were record figures, with double-digit annual growth that all business lines contributed to. Moreover, it made significant headway thanks to its key growth levers: globalization of markets and businesses and expansion of its advisory services in the US.

In Global Transaction Banking, intense activity in Export Finance and Trade & Working Capital Solutions more than offset a drop-off in activity in Cash Management, which was hit by falling interest rates. We also performed well in Global Banking, backed by growth in Corporate Finance (CF) and Global Debt Financing (GDF).
