Santander Used Cars Trade shakes up Europe's used car market. 02/06/2026 16:45 CEST Used vehicle management has become an increasingly strategic area for financial institutions that operate in the automotive sector. The growth of car leasing and financing, as well as rising electrification, has expanded the volume and complexity of the vehicles that return to the market once their contracts expire. Against this backdrop, Santander Consumer and Openbank have launched a new global remarketing model and B2B digital platform known as Santander Used Cars Trade to transform the way Santander Consumer USA Inc. manage and market used vehicles in Europe. The aim is to build a more connected, efficient and scalable ecosystem that can bring together operations in several countries and boost access to vehicles through complete, common and straightforward information. A more complex and connected market Europe's used vehicle market has undergone vast change in recent years. The emergence of certain models and brands, not to mention the growth of electric vehicles, has made it trickier to access and purchase used vehicles. Typically, the lion's share of these transactions were local and fragmented, with little connectivity between markets, thus making it difficult to seize on opportunities. To meet this need, the Group has come up with a remarketing vision based on digitalization, simplicity, and access to the vehicles available. A pan-European model to manage the vehicle life cycle This new global remarketing model sets out a common framework to manage the end-to-end cycle of used vehicle purchases in several markets across Europe. The model streamlines pick-up, logistics, inspection, preparation, pricing, sales, and post-sale integration by combining more standardized operations supported by digital tools. What's more, standardized inspection and preparation ensure consistent and reliable vehicle information, aid business operations, and enhance the experience for both buyers and dealers. Through this initiative, the Group is reinforcing its commitment to a more digital, connected and adaptable pan-European model that can keep pace with the evolving automotive market, afford new opportunities for international cooperation, and create value across Europe.

Santander seeks companies with the best solutions in quantum computing and artificial intelligence. 11/05/2026 11:00 CEST Santander X Global Challenge | The Quantum AI Leap is a global challenge aimed at startups and scaleups from 10 countries, in collaboration with IBM, Bluzec and Oxentia Foundation. The six winning companies will receive €120,000 in prizes, access to the exclusive global Santander X 100 community, with plans to offer strategic mentoring from IBM experts, and up to €10,000 in specialised services from Bluzec. Madrid, 11 May 2026. Banco Santander has launched Santander X Global Challenge | The Quantum AI Leap, a new global challenge developed in collaboration with IBM, Bluzec and Oxentia Foundation. It is aimed at startups and scaleups from 10 countries (Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, the United States, Spain, Mexico, Portugal, the United Kingdom and Uruguay) that develop innovative solutions based on quantum computing and artificial intelligence. The aim is to identify disruptive projects that harness the potential of these technologies to transform key sectors and generate new opportunities in areas such as finance, energy, healthcare, logistics and cybersecurity, through computing, optimisation of complex systems, and the strengthening of digital security. Interested startups and scaleups may submit their solutions in three different application areas: * Technologies that enable the development and scaling of quantum systems, including advanced hardware and the use of AI to enhance performance and stability. * Solutions that combine quantum computing and AI to solve real-world problems, focused on the development of software, algorithms and applications with short- and medium-term impact. * Technologies that protect digital systems against the risk posed by future, cryptographically relevant quantum computing, focusing on ensuring long-term security, privacy and trust. Interested companies may submit their applications until 30 June via the Santander X platform. According to Jaime Gómez, Global Head of the Quantum Threat Program at Banco Santander, "quantum computing is increasingly close to generating a real impact on society and combined with AI, opens up new opportunities to solve complex challenges across multiple sectors. At Santander, we believe in the key role of innovation and entrepreneurship in driving this change, and that is why we promote initiatives such as this global challenge, through which we aim to support solutions that will shape the future of industry and digital security." Emily Fontaine, Global Head of Venture Capital at IBM said, "As quantum and AI technologies continue advancing at a rapid pace, this challenge provides an important platform to support the innovators driving that progress. At IBM, we're deeply committed to building a strong global quantum ecosystem and delivering quantum computing that's truly useful and scalable for industry. Through IBM Ventures, we're excited to partner with Santander on this effort and help accelerate the next wave of breakthrough companies shaping the future of quantum and AI." Bluzec explains that "the evolution of AI confirms that emerging technologies can become real drivers of transformation in a very short time. Quantum computing represents the next major leap, with the potential to generate capabilities that are not yet fully foreseeable. The integration of both will mark a new stage in technological innovation. At Bluzec, we support startups and large companies throughout this process, connecting technology with market needs and accelerating adoption through growth, investment and strategic collaboration." An expert jury will select six winning projects, which will receive €120,000 in prizes: €30,000 for the three winning startups (€10,000 each) and €90,000 for the three best scaleups (€30,000 each). They will gain access to Santander X 100, the exclusive global community of the most outstanding Santander X companies, and will be able to connect with Fintech Station, the bank's Open Innovation area. They may also be able to further develop their projects with planned support from IBM, gaining access to AI sessions, quantum innovation teams, and the opportunity to pitch IBM Ventures and its community of investors. Bluzec will provide up to €10,000 in specialised services, including expert support, quantum training delivered by international specialists, and access to a collaboration and investment network.

EIB and ICO invest €325 million in UCI's Prado XII. The securitisation vehicle of the Banco Santander and BNP Paribas joint venture is backed by a €650 million portfolio of residential mortgages and will finance energy-efficiency renovations in homes. The EIB Group, comprising the European Investment Bank and the European Investment Fund, and the Instituto de Crédito Oficial (ICO) have invested in Prado XII, an Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) securitisation fund managed by Unión de Créditos Inmobiliarios (UCI), a joint venture between Banco Santander and BNP Paribas. The transaction involves an investment of €325 million. The EIB Group is contributing €225 million, of which €150 million comes from the EIB and €75 million from the EIF in the most senior tranche, while the ICO is investing a further €100 million. This is the second joint transaction between the EIB Group, the ICO and UCI involving a securitisation of residential mortgages originated in Spain. The funds raised will enable UCI to originate new sustainable loans for individuals and homeowners' associations for energy-efficient refurbishment works on buildings. Although the main focus will be on the renovation of the existing housing stock, mortgage loans may also be financed for the purchase of homes with high energy efficiency standards and nearly zero energy consumption. Prado XII is structured as a true sale securitisation of a portfolio of performing mortgage loans amounting to €650 million. The EIB Group and ICO are acquiring part of the senior tranche, while UCI retains the mezzanine and junior tranches. The fund is an RMBS (Residential Mortgage-Backed Security) and meets the European STS criteria - which stand for simple, transparent and standardised securitisations - as set out in the European Union's Securitisation Regulation 2017/2402. The transaction also complies with the regulatory requirements of the CRR (Capital Requirements Regulation) and the LCR (Short-Term Liquidity Coverage Ratio). Among the features of the transaction is a pro-rata amortisation of all tranches, which will be accelerated five years after issuance, on the adjustment date. The structure also includes a cash reserve to cover potential interest shortfalls and mechanisms to defer interest payments on the mezzanine and junior tranches should there be a deterioration in performance.
