Santander's Strategy

Very interesting seeing some of the discussion on here both about Santander's strategy and potential for further reach in the US market in its corporate & investment banking division. 

Curious if anyone has any views or input on this?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems like Santander is making some strategic moves to strengthen its position in the market. They've been hiring senior Credit Suisse bankers, which could potentially bring a wealth of experience and connections to the bank.

However, it's important to note that hiring alone isn't enough to guarantee success. Significant investment in their platform and a well-executed strategy are also crucial.

As for their potential in the US market, it's a competitive landscape with many established players. Santander's success will likely depend on their ability to leverage the expertise of their new hires, invest in their platform, and execute their strategy effectively.

Remember, in the world of finance, things can change quickly. So, it's always a good idea to keep an eye on the latest news and discussions.
