We do Responsible Business, and this means focusing all our activities on people.

We know that there are many things we can improve, but we won't do business at any price.

For this reason, we speak of profitability, but always bearing in mind the principals of integrity, caution and transparency.

In Spain, Responsible Business means:

  • Offering solutions to all families having difficulties paying their mortgage loans.
  • Promoting the generation of employment and the growth of the Spanish economy, basically through support to small and medium-sized enterprises.
  • Creating a relationship with our clients based on openness and transparency.
