looking good for a turnaround
based on the business they are taking off other banks

didn't Santander buy the better parts off ABN in Brazil
and RBS bought the troubled parts off ABN?

Clearly it wasn't... ;-)

[pvb] 19/8/2015 17:53

Is that a "boot bottom" forming?

[brain smiley] 19/8/2015 15:11

Brazilian economy must be the worry here.

Fill your boots, it might stop the rot/fall

I have for the past 2 years considered BNC to be a buy in the lower half of the £4 to £5 range and a sell at around £5.30 or better bwdik

[pvb] 17/8/2015 14:03

I suppose it depends on whether you are a buyer or a seller. Or a holder. :-)

[brain smiley] 17/8/2015 14:02

awful chart....

[acamas] 14/8/2015 13:38

I think it will be allowed once a year for the time being. I shall have to inform Barclays of my preference before I believe it is 26 October

Dividend election:



So some scope still for avoiding witholding tax. I thought this was all for the chop?

[farmsted] 05/8/2015 08:40

As a long term hold I am getting concerned that this share seems to keep dropping, when can we see any upturn if any

[cyberian] 31/7/2015 08:32

Thanks cabreado...the results looked pretty good as you kindly set-out above.

[cabreado] 30/7/2015 19:25

Something to do with dividends will be my guess or a large buy coming up.

[cyberian] 30/7/2015 17:58

So why the share price fall??

Currently, dividend is 5¢ per quarter.

Try here:



Note there is a 20% Spanish Witholding Tax taken from SAN dividends. This reduces to 19% next year. Previously you could avoid this tax by taking the scrip dividend option, but the scrip dividend scheme is ending.

Can anyone tell me how Mutch the divi is per year an how's it payed ta

[mike24] 06/7/2015 08:11

LLOYDS or BNC mid-morning price looks a good buy
back in 06 barc/woolwich offered the best mortgage deals
now santander are the best of all the banks, will sweep
the floor against the rest, as all round trouble free service
my experience is nothing but stress with lloyds subbing out mortgages
to Handelsbank, screwing up the chain, lost cheques, a shambles

The Economist.. NO to What??
M/Lynch data shows US investors put $66 billion into european equities
so far this yr, but nothing as good as the word Austerity being thrown at
finance ministers to keep governments in check.

Mmm.... Greek banks might no open tomorrow!Greece ordered its banks shut Monday to avert a financial collapse after the European Central Bank froze emergency loans to the nation's lenders.Piraeus Bank SA Chief Executive Officer Anthimos Thomopoulos spoke to reporters after meeting the government's financial-stability panel in Athens on Sunday.

Good Pvb Slick output from Santander but shareholder returns will depend upon delivery they are currently meagre and prospect not exciting. They anticipate recovery in Brazil - indeed performance in Latin America would help - also for holders of ALAI ! A lower euro will benefit Spain as Greece if it stays in. the stock might be a hedge if UK and sterling go sour but there are probably better ones in my thinking.
