Funding

Funding

In addition to the deposit business with retail customers which is very important for the bank there are two business units in charge of the more financial market oriented funding of the bank. Treasury coordinates the money market products whereas Capital Markets is responsible for the more long term refinancing by issuing securities. In addition Treasury secures compliance with regulatory requirements (i. e. equity and liquidity requirements) as well as the steering of market price risks (particularly interest rate change risk).

Funding Strategy

It is our goal to cover our funding needs by deposits from German clients. Our network of branches and affiliates covering the whole of Germany is giving us a stable access to deposits of retail customers.

Part of our funding strategy is the securitization of consumer finance loans by placing them as Asset Backed Securities in the market or to pledge these to the ECB. In addition liquidity lines of our owners (Santander Consumer Finance S.A. and Banco Santander S.A.) are available to fund our loan business. Promissory Notes as well as the deposit business with institutional investors further diversify our refinancing base. The issuance of Pfandbriefe (covered bonds) as well as senior unsecured notes complements our strategy as further attractive refinancing sources.
