Matías Sánchez, global head of Cards and Digital Solutions at Banco Santander, said: “At Santander, we believe travel is about creating meaningful memories and discovering unique experiences that connect people with destinations. Through our partnership with Visa, we are bringing exclusive opportunities to our customers across ten key markets, giving them access to extraordinary experiences in music, sports, fashion, gastronomy and culture that can only be enjoyed through this global collaboration.”
Katya Petelina, head of global Cross-Border and global Sales & Commercial Operations at Visa, said: “Our latest Visa Global Travel Study indicates that travelers are increasingly choosing where to travel based on passion, purpose, and experiences, not just geography. With Visa Destinations, we are helping travelers discover the moments that make a destination memorable, while giving our issuers and merchant partners a meaningful way to participate in the economic growth that travel creates.”
The partnership reflects Santander’s commitment to creating value for its customers beyond its banking activity. Through its global scale and long-standing relationship with Visa, Santander will help bring Visa Destinations to customers across markets where Santander offers Visa cards.
