Santander invited around 20 customers and their companions to Paris to soak up the atmosphere at one of the world’s most iconic sporting events.
The trip was part of our commitment to engage with the communities we serve in diverse ways and create lasting memories for customers.
The account holders from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Portugal, Uruguay and Spain enjoyed a unique experience to watch three Olympic disciplines: tennis, athletics and artistic gymnastics.
In addition to high class sport, guests were able to share their experiences and connect with other Santander customers at an exclusive "meet and greet" at the Visa Courtyard in the heart of Paris.
Francisco Carracedo, an Openbank Spain customer, said: “When I heard I would be attending the Olympics, I couldn’t believe it. The whole experience has been exceptional.”
The trip was the first customer experience organised by Santander Global Cards in partnership with Visa, the official Olympics sponsor.
Global Cards and PagoNxt make up Santaner’s Payments division, one of the five goal businesses established by the group to drive the next phase of growth.
