Bankinter Snapshot
Bankinter is not the biggest bank in Spain, but it may be the most technologically advanced. The company was founded in 1965 as a joint venture between what is now Grupo Santander and Bank of America. It is among the top six banks in Spain and offers a variety of consumer and business banking services through branches, agents, telephone services, and the Internet. Bankinter provides mutual and pension funds, mortgages, leasing, and securities brokerage. Bankinter pioneered Internet stock trading in Spain. The bank jazzes up operations that could be deemed plain vanilla by focusing on convenient, low-cost delivery and customer service.
