Milestones in Bankinter's history

Bankinter was founded in June 1965 as a Spanish industrial bank through a joint venture by Banco de Santander and Bank of America. It was listed on the Madrid stock exchange in 1972, at which time the bank became fully independent of its founders and transformed itself into a commercial bank.

Bankinter's journey is a story of differentiation, rooted in the constant pursuit of excellence and a strong commitment to innovation, sustainability, and profitability.
