Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A.
Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A. (BSBR) is a major Brazilian bank and subsidiary of the global Santander Group, offering retail, corporate and investment banking across Brazil. Investors should know it combines a wide branch and digital network with a diversified deposit base and lending portfolio, giving exposure to consumer credit, mortgages, corporate loans and fee-based services. Its performance is linked to Brazilian macro conditions — GDP growth, interest rates (Selic) and currency moves — and it can benefit from rising rates through wider net interest margins but also face pressure from slower economic activity or deteriorating credit quality. Regulatory capital, loan-loss provisions and competition from other banks and fintechs are key metrics to watch. Market cap is around $20bn, placing it among sizeable regional banks.

Investments can rise and fall and past performance is not a guide; consider your own circumstances or speak to a qualified adviser.
