We recently became aware of an unauthorized access to a Santander database hosted by a third-party provider. We immediately implemented measures to contain the incident, including blocking the compromised access to the database and establishing additional fraud prevention controls to protect affected customers.

Santander achieved an attributable profit of €2,852 million in the first quarter of 2024, up 11% in current euros versus the same period last year, as strong growth in net interest income in all the global businesses and regions, supported by growth in customers, and good cost control more than offset the expected year-on-year growth in provisions.
