Madrid, 7 March 2022 - STATEMENT
Since the ongoing aggression against Ukraine began, Santander has been working to support the response to the humanitarian relief efforts.
The bank has taken several actions including:
- Removing fees on all permitted transfers to Ukraine from Europe.
- Making an initial donation of €1 million to the Red Cross and UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, and matching additional donations from employees.
- Suspending account and card fees for Ukrainian customers in Poland and providing, charge-free use of ATMs and ongoing access to cash in branches and via ATMs.
Santander does not have a presence in Russia or Ukraine and our direct exposure to Russian and Ukrainian markets and assets is negligible. The bank remains in close contact with relevant authorities in Europe and elsewhere and will continue to observe and comply with international sanctions and will not engage in any new business with Russian companies.
Santander condemns the invasion and stands with the people of Ukraine. Supporting the response to the humanitarian crisis remains the bank’s utmost priority.
- Poland’s Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego has opened a special account for the National Bank of Ukraine to receive donations in aid to Ukraine. Funds can be transferred to Account No. 91113000070080239435200002
