Santander
Santander has an international footprint with presence in 10 core countries and many more via our network of alliances.
Santander Corporate & Commercial focuses on helping businesses prosper by being an ‘accelerator for business growth’. We know that ambitious businesses want to continue to do business with Europe as well as grow beyond traditional markets – that is why we have a deep, holistic and tailored approach to our international proposition to help businesses with their international growth ambitions.
From our latest annual Trade Barometer research, it is clear what UK businesses need in order to grow and succeed across global markets: trusted connections to buyers, partners and suppliers, help with overcoming bureaucracy and logistics issues, innovative banking solutions, local support and expertise with setting up overseas, and recruitment of the right skills to support with these challenges. This is where Santander is well placed to help through our sector and country experts; partnerships with trade, industry and international bodies; and network of banking groups via the global Trade Club Alliance.
At Santander, we are fully committed to supporting manufacturers with Rail being one of our key manufacturing sub-sectors of focus. We work closely with rail supply chain companies, related industry bodies and an ecosystem of partners to help companies grow and prosper both in the UK and internationally.
