SANTANDER
130 management for the wider market .
“ Customers are trusting us with their data . We need to verify identities for a whole variety of regions – so there are opportunities for a bank as that trusted partner within the wider industry , and that ’ s something we need to look at going forward .”
This strong culture of trust , community and collaboration runs through every aspect of the business , not least the relationship Santander maintains with its vendors and partners , all of which have equally stringent principles on security and much more . “ When we work with a third party , we try to make sure we work in partnership with them ,” he emphasises . “ We spend a fair bit of time making sure they have the right fit for us , both culturally and architecturally .”
“ Part of our methodology is to see , experiment , improve concepts , test and learn before we take a leap into particular technologies ,” says Pearson . “ Experimentation and building that collaborative relationship is important in understanding we ’ re working with the right partners moving forward .” Alongside Cloudera , a leading platform for Big Data and data science which enables Santander to become data driven , the bank works with a variety of carefully selected partners that have been critical for its ongoing digital transformation .
