Openbank is Banco Santander's digital bank and, since January 2026, the brand for the group's global consumer business. Founded in Spain in 1995 and relaunched as a cloud-native digital platform in 2017, it offers deposits, savings, mortgages, loans and investment products alongside auto and consumer finance. In May 2026 Santander Consumer Finance absorbed the original Open Bank, S.A. and took its name, uniting both under the Openbank brand. It operates in 26 countries across Europe and the Americas, including Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, the US and Mexico, with EUR 220bn of loans and EUR 136bn of deposits at mid-2026.
