“Why?” is the most important question in every strategic decision. Everything we do at Santander has a purpose. That’s why we’re launching a series of videos that delve into the reasons behind many of our decisions. In these videos, the bank's leaders will provide further insight into the products, services and areas that are key to our transformation into the best open financial services platform. 

 

 

In the first episode, our Global Head of Retail & Commercial Banking, Daniel Barriuso, explores Santander's Work Cafés, our revolutionary branch concept. They’re a collaborative space open to both customers and non-customers that bring together banking services, free co-working facilities and a specialty coffee house in one place. Brought to life in Chile in 2016, we now have 220 Work Cafés worldwide.

In the second episode, our Group Chief Operating and Technology Officer, Dirk Marzluf, explores Gravity, Santander's proprietary cloud-based core banking platform. Gravity makes Santander a ‘digital native’ company, with the agility and capability to provide the best customer experience and the security Santander has always offered. With Gravity's successful implementation in six countries (Spain being the latest), we’re getting closer to fulfilling our vision of becoming the best open platform for financial services.


 

 

In the third episode, our Chief People Officer & Global Head of Santander Universities, Javier Roglá, introduces Santander Open Academy, our free global learning platform designed to boost employability in a rapidly changing world. With courses, scholarships and content delivered in partnership with leading institutions, Santander Open Academy is available to everyone.
