Banco Santander S.A.

Banco Santander, based in the town of Boadilla del Monte near Madrid, is the largest bank in the eurozone by many measures, a global retail and commercial lender serving well over a hundred million customers across Spain, Brazil, Mexico, the UK, the United States and much of Latin America. That vast international footprint gives it broad, diversified earnings. Santander pays a high dividend and adds large buybacks, returning a growing share of its profits, which earns it a high DiviScore. A generous yield backed by one of the world's biggest banks defines its appeal, with results spread across many economies and currencies.
