Santander employees work every day to help millions of people prosper and achieve their dreams. This is the Santander Effect, the idea that our actions can have a positive impact on customers, employees, shareholders and the communities we serve. 
 

Santander is a company with large numbers: 212,764 employees, 165 million customers, 3.7 million shareholders and an active presence in thousands of communities worldwide. When you bring your experience to Santander, your actions –no matter how small– can have a positive impact on many people’s lives. This is what we call the Santander Effect.

The Santander Effect sets us apart as an organisation and makes us one of the best companies to work for. It is our culture and values centred upon creating value to help people and businesses prosper; our priority of having diverse and inclusive teams where everyone can give it their all; our commitment to our employees’ careers; the chance to learn from great colleagues who are internationally distinguished in their particular area; and our robust, stable organisation with a history spanning more than 160 years.

1. Significant impact
Small actions can make a big difference. Everything each Santander Group employee does has a positive impact on the people around us and society in general. Each of our ideas and efforts, all our experience, can serve to inspire incredible initiatives.
